Benefits of Boxing for Parkinson's
Maliq Harris has been boxing for 22 years working with all levels of diseases and disabilities. We specialize in Parkinson’s disease. Boxing is known as one of the best exercises for Parkinson’s. Boxing has increased the client’s strength and has improved hand-eye coordination, posture, gross motor skills, balance confidence, and mental sharpness.
Parkinson’s lacks the ability to produce an important chemical called dopamine, but it is shown that boxing significantly increases your dopamine levels. Physical activity helps treat patients with Parkinson’s disease by allowing it not to worsen. Incorporating boxing is an excellent way to keep the body moving, and helps build strength, balance, endurance, and coordination.
F.A.Q.
Questions about the workout, the facility, individual sessions, boxing, or training? We got you. Feel free to peruse through our frequently asked questions and their respective answers. You can also book an appointment to schedule a one on one discussion of your specific needs.
Why boxing?
More importantly boxing takes you further than you ever thought possible. Boxing makes you more alive than ever, more humble in defeat, and most glorious in victory. Boxing reveals the true fighter deep inside every single one of us.
Do I really have to wrap my hands to box?
Over half of the bones in the human body are in your hands and feet. There are 27 individual bones in your hands alone and your hands aren't that big. That means those bones are small and fragile. Do you really think your hands were made to repeatedly pound into a hard mass of anything? Boxing is all about punching. If you have a broken hand, you can't punch therefore you can't box.
You have to protect your hands by using wraps properly. Granted that some people do not use wraps and only use bag gloves. They are still getting some protection, but I recommend that you always wrap your hands AND use bag gloves when hitting the heavy bag. Just wraps on the speed bag or double end bag is fine. Those bags will give when you hit them - you aren't absorbing the full force of the punch in your hands and forearms.
