Rock Steady Boxing
Fight Back Against Parkinson’s with Rock Steady Boxing
A non-contact boxing program at Bell Road YMCA to improve balance, strength, and confidence with PD
Rock Steady Boxing is a health and wellness program designed for people with Parkinson’s Disease, a neurological condition that affects balance, strength, walking, and especially confidence. It’s based on a foundation of non-contact boxing, and it’s very effective for improving all of the symptoms that people with PD typically experience. The YMCA Rock Steady program utilizes the mechanics of boxing to address physical disability symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as balance issues, stiffness, tremors, coordination difficulties, and soft voice syndrome.
Rock Steady Boxing's Impact
The program aims to provide an “arduous hour” of exercise specifically designed for individuals with Parkinson’s. The program is offered at our Bell Road YMCA location. If you have any further questions or would like more information about the Rock Steady program, please let us know. To join, please come to a class and Leigh Ann will get you registered.
