Rock Steady Boxing

Rock Steady Boxing

Rock Steady Boxing is a nationally recognized, non-contact boxing fitness program specifically designed for people with Parkinson's disease. At Bend Physical Recovery, we are proud to offer this powerful, evidence-informed program alongside our one-on-one rehabilitation model, giving our Parkinson's patients both the expert clinical care and the motivating community they need to fight back.

Research shows that intense, sustained exercise can have a significant positive impact on the progression of Parkinson's disease. Rock Steady Boxing uses the fundamentals of boxing training, without any contact, to target the neurological and physical challenges that Parkinson's patients face every day.
