About Helen Rothwell & Whole Life Fitness

About

After spending 15 years working with computers I moved into personal training later in life. For the past 15 years, my focus has been on working with older adults, supporting them to improve their strength and balance.

As a trained Postural Stability Instructor, I am one of only a few specialists in the Chichester area able to deliver evidence-based Falls Prevention exercises.

Any age can benefit from exercise and I specialise in working with older adults who have a fear of falling, or those living with long term health conditions including,

• Parkinson’s Disease
• Osteoporosis
• COPD/Pulmonary disease
• Cardiac conditions
• Osteoarthritis
• High Blood Pressure
• Stroke
