Rock Steady Boxing is a unique form of physical exercise that attacks Parkinson’s at its vulnerable neurological points. This non-contact, boxing-inspired fitness routine is proving to dramatically improve the ability of people with Parkinson’s to live independent lives. No boxing experience is necessary and people of all ages are available to participate.
