Movement for Life Physical Therapy regularly treats patients with Parkinson’s Disease through their Knock Out Parkinson’s program, which they recently expanded to offer at all WNC clinic locations. Knock Out Parkinson’s is a non-contact boxing program, utilizing a combination of cardiovascular exercise, weight training, balance skills and boxing.
While there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease, evidence has shown people who participate in high intensity exercise programs make positive gains in all stages of the disease, as well as protect important areas of their brain. The mission of Knock Out Parkinson’s is to give people the power and motivation to battle Parkinson’s Disease. The program works to improve the mental and physical capabilities of those with Parkinson’s Disease through movement and enhance their quality of life.
The Knock Out Parkinson’s Challenge on October 23rd will offer a taste of what the program is all about. The event is open to folks of all abilities, whether or not you have been affected by Parkinson’s Disease.
Movement for Life Physical Therapy takes the health and safety of its community very seriously. Masks are required at all clinic locations.
