Infant First Aid Course
Keep your eyes peeled for info on Infant First Aid Course that we will be running in our studio.
Taking an infant first aid course offers several invaluable benefits for parents and caregivers

- Preparedness: Equips participants with the knowledge and skills to recognize and respond to common infant emergencies such as choking, CPR, and dealing with burns or fevers.
- Safety: Helps create a safer environment for infants by teaching preventive measures and hazard awareness, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries.
- Empowerment: Gives caregivers a sense of empowerment and control over potentially stressful situations, allowing them to take swift action in an emergency.
- Lifesaving: Provides critical skills that could potentially save a child’s life in emergency situations, such as administering CPR or addressing choking incidents.
Are You Suffering With Jaw Pain?
Your jaw, aka your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. It facilitates essential movements for speaking, chewing, and yawning. When this joint is impaired, it leads to a condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJS).
The most common symptoms of TMJS are:
- Pain or tenderness in the jaw area, particularly near the ear
- Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Locking of the jaw joint, making it difficult to fully open or close the mouth
- Facial/jaw or ear pain or headaches, often radiating to the neck and shoulders
There are many causes of TMJS but the 4 most common causes we see are bruxism (teeth grinding), stress and anxiety, trauma or injury and arthritis.
