Next Free Falls Prevention Workshop
Come along to the next free Falls Prevention Workshop on the 20th January Bassil Shippam Centre, Chichester 10-12pm. Free Parking
The workshop is suitable for anyone who has fallen or is worrying about falling.
We know that while the causes of a fall may be complex, there is plenty that can be done to reduce their risk. This 2 hour workshop about Falls Prevention, will be discussing
* How to reduce the risk of falling
* How to identify hazards that cause falls
* 6 simple exercises that can be done at home to improve balance
* What to do if a fall occurs
A survey commissioned by Age UK has found that millions of older people are worried about falling over, with 4.3 million (36%) saying it topped their list of concerns Unfortunately 30% of people aged 65 or over will fall at least once this year and that rises to 50% if you are over 80. Not all falls are preventable but neither are they inevitable, come and join us to find out what you can do to help prevent a fall (or what to do if you do fall!)
You can book your free space by calling Helen on 07785 747669 or emailing helenrothwell@wholelifefitness.co.uk

Having worked in IT in London for 15 years I was made redundant in 2009. I had trained as a gym instructor whilst working and decided I would rather spend the rest of my career doing something I loved than look for another job in IT. I furthered my qualifications with a Certificate in Advanced Personal Training from the highly regarded Premier Training. Many personal trainers are generalists covering all areas of fitness but I took the decision to specialise in the over-50s and therefore went on to do a CYQ Award in Functional Training for the Independent Older Adult Level 3. My focus is on overall health rather than fitness. I believe that making small changes can have a long term positive effect on health and well-being.
