No-contact boxing is a great full-body workout for just about anyone, but experts have found that boxing can actually benefit many people with neurological disorders, specifically, Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disease in the brain that triggers unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, dizziness, stiffness, difficulties with speaking, fatigue, loss of coordination, and falling.
While there is no cure or way to stop symptoms from occurring, researchers believe that high-intensity exercise can slow the progression of Parkinson’s by promoting neurological changes in the brain, as well as improve patients’ confidence. Boxing for Parkinson’s helps people improve their coordination, agility, and balance. It is a physical way to fight back against Parkinson’s.
Once it was recognized that there could be a benefit for people with Parkinson’s to practice boxing, the Boxing for Parkinson’s program through Rock Steady Boxing Orange County was created. The program implemented high-intensity exercise with strength and cardiovascular conditioning so that participants don’t take punches, they only throw them while focusing on agility and balance while avoiding overexertion.
Boxing also seems to help with other neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and people who have experienced a stroke.
It has been suggested that boxing could be beneficial to Parkinson’s patients in the early to middle stages of the disease, and less helpful as the disease progresses.
As with any physical activity, it is recommended that any individual with Parkinson’s speak with their doctor before engaging in boxing, however Rock Steady Boxing also requires a doctor’s release form before participating.
If you are starting to develop signs of Parkinson’s disease, reach out to the Orange County Rock Steady Boxing location taught by champion boxer and Rock Steady trained boxing teacher, Gary Ballard at (714) 914-3316 or gary@ballardfitness.com.

After an MRI i was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Multiple Sclerosis alternative treatment (ww w. health herbs clinic. com), the Multiple Sclerosis treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, its been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!

I’m interested in attending a group class and taking an individual lesson twice per month.

My husband who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre. com after undergoing their Parkinson’s natural protocol. God Bless all Parkinson’s Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.

I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex,and then dopamine for my Parkinson disease, as the disease progressed they didn’t help much. A year ago I started on PD TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Aknni Herbs Centre (w w w. aknniherbscentre .com). One month into the treatment, I made a significant recovery, my symptoms were gone including tremors . It’s been months since I completed the treatment, I am symptom free and I live a very productive life all thanks to Aknni herbs centre !!!
