Parkinson’s disease can make movement, balance, and coordination more challenging—but research shows that high-intensity exercise can slow symptom progression and improve quality of life.

At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in Metro West & West Orlando, FL, we offer Rock Steady Boxing, a non-contact boxing program designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease. This program helps participants improve strength, balance, agility, and confidence while fighting back against Parkinson’s symptoms.

Rock Steady Boxing is a unique fitness program adapted from professional boxing training to help people with Parkinson’s disease improve:

✔ Balance & Coordination – Reducing fall risk and improving mobility.
✔ Hand-Eye Coordination – Enhancing reaction time and motor control.
✔ Speed & Agility – Increasing movement confidence and control.
✔ Muscle Power & Endurance – Strengthening the body for better mobility.
✔ Mental Focus & Cognitive Function – Challenging the brain and nervous system to stay sharp.
✔ Rhythm & Fluidity – Enhancing movement patterns for daily activities.

This non-contact boxing program is designed for men and women of all ages and ability levels, allowing each participant to train at their own pace while receiving expert coaching.

Scientific research supports that intense, forced exercise—like boxing—can be neuroprotective, meaning it may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
