Rock Steady Boxing
UHS Sports Medicine has partnered with Rock Steady Boxing™ – Southern Tier, NY to “Punch Out Parkinson’s”.
What is Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) all about?
Rock Steady Boxing enables people with Parkinson’s disease to fight their disease by providing non-contact boxing-style fitness programs that improve their quality of life and sense of efficacy and self-worth.
Recent studies suggest that intense exercise programs may be “neuro-protective” — actually working to delay the progression of symptoms of Parkinson’s. RSB provides encouragement through coaching to inspire maximum effort, speed, strength, balance and flexibility.
Get inspiration and help to fight back!
In our gym, exercises are largely adapted from boxing drills. Boxers condition for optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork and overall strength to defend against and overcome opponents. At RSB, Parkinson’s disease is the opponent. Exercises vary in purpose and form but share one common trait — they are rigorous and intended to extend the perceived capabilities of the participant.
For questions regarding this UHS Sports Performance Program through RSB, please call (607) 760-4487, or (607) 768-2262.
