Benefits of Boxing Exercise for Parkinson's Disease

Boxing training is increasingly recognised as an effective exercise therapy for people living with Parkinson's disease. 💪 Our non-contact boxing sessions focus on improving coordination, balance, strength, and cognitive function—all areas that can be affected by Parkinson's.

These specialised classes feature:

• Modified techniques that can be adapted to your mobility level
• Targeted exercises to help manage Parkinson's symptoms
• Supportive environment with others facing similar challenges
• Improved neural pathways through multidirectional movement

Many participants report improvements in their daily functioning after regular attendance. The high-intensity nature of boxing exercise helps trigger the production of dopamine and other neurochemicals that can temporarily ease symptoms while potentially slowing disease progression. 🧠

Beyond the physical benefits, our classes offer a valuable social connection with others living with Parkinson's. This sense of community and shared experience can be just as important as the exercise itself. 🤝

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson's for years, our supportive team can help you find the right level of challenge. Come along for a free first class to experience how boxing-based exercise can help you fight back against Parkinson's symptoms.
