How boxing can help people with Parkinson’s
As one of the top types of exercises recommended for people with Parkinson’s, the boxing regimen incorporates stretching, punching, core and footwork, vocal exercises, and mental sequencing. Practitioners have seen improvement in their Parkinson’s symptoms, including:
Improves gait, balance, and flexibility
Combats loss of voice
Stimulates neurological activity in the brain
Improves agility and hand-eye coordination
Our Mission
After seeing first-hand the devastating effects of Parkinson’s disease and the therapeutic benefits of boxing workouts, Ryan Roach launched Punch for Parkinson’s. The organization helps to ease the burden of those affected by Parkinson’s Disease and turns them into “Warriors” by combating symptoms through the sport of boxing. At P4P, trainers create immersive programs featuring non-combat boxing, training, and exercise for those diagnosed with the disease.
