Freedom Boxing For Parkinson's
At Freedom Physical Therapy & Fitness, we are proud to offer Freedom Boxing – a dynamic program designed for people living with Parkinson’s that is grounded in evidence-based movement and purposeful skill building. Freedom Boxing combines the strength and structure of a therapeutic exercise program with boxing-based movement patterns to create a training experience that supports improved balance, mobility, coordination, body awareness, and confidence.
Parkinson’s is unique for each person and so is our approach. Freedom Boxing is built to meet people where they are and help them move forward with measurable improvement. The program supports individuals at all levels, whether new to exercise, recently diagnosed, or seeking additional movement support. Every session is guided by our licensed therapy team that understands movement challenges related to Parkinson’s and how to progress exercise safely and effectively.
Why Freedom Boxing Works
Freedom Boxing focuses on more than just punching technique. Each class uses graded exercise principles to challenge the body in meaningful ways that build strength, agility, and control. Through repetition and progression, participants learn to move with purpose and awareness. The combination of balance-focused drills, stepping patterns, hand-eye coordination tasks, and controlled power movement targets the systems that are often affected by Parkinson’s, including posture, gait, and reaction time.
Here are the key outcomes Freedom Boxing is designed to address:
- Balance - We incorporate stability tasks and shifting weight patterns that help improve equilibrium so that everyday movement feels more secure.
- Mobility - Our movement sequences increase range of motion and fluidity, so walking, reaching, and changing direction become more natural and less effortful.
- Coordination - Integrated boxing drills train the brain and body to communicate more efficiently with coordinated sequences of movement. This can help reduce hesitations and promote smoother transitions.
- Proprioception - Participants develop a better sense of where their body is in space using movement challenges that enhance spatial awareness and control.
- Tremors - While exercise cannot eliminate neurological symptoms entirely, Freedom Boxing supports improved muscular control and steadiness, which can make tremors feel less intrusive during daily tasks.
What To Expect
At Freedom Boxing, you will find an encouraging environment where every person is valued and supported. Sessions begin with a gentle warm-up that prepares the body for activity, followed by targeted skill-building circuits tailored to individual needs. Our coaches cue movement closely and adjust activities based on real-time performance. Each class ends with recovery and cool-down to support flexibility and calm the nervous system.
We emphasize consistency, progression, and fun. You will be challenged within your ability and encouraged to celebrate improvement in strength, endurance, balance, and confidence.
