Boxing for Parkinson's Disease: "Parkinson’s disease is classically defined as a disorder of movement and is known to reduce generalized gait and balance. Not only does it affect physical function, but it is also found to affect cognitive, autonomic, and mood as well. Executive function is the ability to plan, organize, and regulate goal-directed behavior and is a neuropsychological deficit that is most frequently observed in patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this progressive nervous system disorder, but there are ways to slow the advancement. Cue in CORE Physical Therapy! Here at the Fullerton CORE Physical Therapy clinic, we offer a 45-minute boxing class targeted at patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Collective evidence shows that various kinds of exercise may reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease and have positive impacts on both motor and non-motor symptoms related to Parkinson’s disease. Exercise is also shown to have selective benefits for cognitive functioning by improving frontal lobe-based executive function! Some benefits from boxing-based exercise include improved balance, cardiovascular conditioning, generalized strengthening, and improved motor coordination, and can help with small-voice disorders associated with Parkinson’s disease as well. Through the boxing class offered at CORE Physical Therapy, we can help play a preventative and maintenance role for your physical fitness and mental health.” — Rachel Kim, PT, DPT
