Boxing

Boxing is more than just a workout—it’s a proven way to support brain and body health, especially for older adults facing neurological challenges such as Parkinson’s Disease. This dynamic, full-body training improves balance, coordination, cognitive focus, and overall mobility. At MoveWell, we use targeted boxing exercises to build strength, boost stamina, and enhance neuroplasticity—helping you fight back against physical decline and regain confidence in everyday movement.

Key benefits include improvements in:

• Balance - decreased fall risk 
• Hand-eye coordination and gait 
• Gait quality 
• Memory, attention and processing speed 
• Sleep quality 
• Quality of life and sense of community 

Additional benefits:

• Gait deficits – decreased speed, shuffling steps, and difficulty with directional change 
• Postural instability and balance deficits
