About the Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Letchworth Garden City

 

Personal Trainer Parkinson's LetchworthSandra Henderson is a Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Letchworth Garden City. She is a highly qualified and experienced trainer with a specialist interest in working with clients with neurological conditions including Parkinson’s.

“I have over 13 years of experience supporting individuals with neurological conditions. I am passionate about helping people move, function, and live more confidently. My career began as a physiotherapy assistant at an MS Therapy Centre, where I discovered the life-changing impact of exercise in rehabilitation.
Motivated to deepen my knowledge, I trained as a Personal Trainer to specialise in exercise-based rehabilitation for people living with neurological conditions. When the Therapy Centre restructured five years ago, I transitioned into self-employment, continuing to provide tailored, functional rehabilitation for my clients.
I love working one-to-one, getting to know each individual, understanding what works best for them, and creating personalised plans that align with their goals. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that with the right support, everyone can make meaningful progress.”

About the National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers

The Register is run by 4D Life in partnership with Parkinson’s UK and supported by CIMSPA, Fitpro and Cure Parkinson’s. We connect with the Parkinson’s community through local NHS Neuro Rehab teams, Parkinson’s UK local representatives, local charities and online advertising. Our goal is to make it possible for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK to work with a fully qualified and experienced, Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer should they wish to. Exercise is still the only method of slowing the progression of Parkinson’s. There is as yet no medication that can do this. The right exercise, nutrition and lifestyle can significantly improve your journey living with Parkinson’s, slowing progression, improving symptoms and making you feel better.
