April is Parkinson’s Awareness month. Before the month is over, we wanted to remind you that Radiant Boxing does classes for people with Parkinson’s disease three times per week. Our Head Coach, Rikki has been working with people who have Parkinson’s disease for 6 years. Did you know that exercise has been proven to be one of the best and most effective methods to slow the progression of the disease? Boxing specifically uses functional movements that translate to every day life. In our Radiant Boxing class for people with Parkinson’s we do mobility movements, balance exercises and stretching as well.
🌟what is Parkinson’s disease?
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system and was originally described based on a set of motor symptoms, namely: tremor while at rest, slowness of movement, and increased muscle tone or rigidity.
