Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative movement disorder which can cause deterioration of motor skills, balance, speech and sensory function. More than 60,000 people are diagnosed each year. There is currently no cure, but research has proven that high intensity exercise is the best way to delay and even improve symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.
Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact boxing program developed by a team of neurologists, movement specialists, and professional boxers to combat Parkinson’s disease. It has proven results in improving speed, cognition, strength, balance, and flexibility- all areas affected by the disease. The results have been so positive that Rock Steady Boxing now has nearly 900 affiliates worldwide, with more than 43,000 participants! You can check out the Rock Steady Boxing international headquarters site here.
