What is Rock Steady Boxing for Seniors with Parkinson’s?
Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact boxing program specifically created to help seniors manage the physical challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease. Led by a certified Rock Steady coach, each class incorporates boxing-inspired drills that focus on improving balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility—all within a safe and supportive environment.
