Get Rock Solid with Rock Steady Boxing
Balance is a big deal in our everyday world, but we take it for granted. Just think how long it took you to master walking, running, and jumping as a child. Your balance system is incredibly complex, and allows you to walk over steps, and around obstacles without thinking. However, when balance is affected, it can be difficult to perform daily tasks and activities you enjoy.
Fortunately, at Fyzical Cordele & Vienna, we can help relieve your balance issues and improve neurological problems - with Rock Steady Boxing!
Why should I consider boxing?
Boxing can help with balance, strength, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease. Here are some of the ways boxing can help improve your health::
- Gentle movements for patients with joint or bone pain. Since boxing is not a weight-bearing exercise, it is ideal for those who may be living with a condition affecting the bones or joints. “Punching the air” is a low-impact exercise that focuses on movements of body weight on the legs, hips, and lower spine. It doesn’t add stress to the lower extremities but still strengthens them, so you can improve your balance.
- A program fit around your needs. With boxing, it is very easy to go at your own pace. Patients can push themselves to reach their goals without the risk of overwhelming themselves. This helps you start off slow and build from there as your muscles strengthen and you become more balanced.
- A full-body workout. Boxing uses muscles in the entire body, meaning you are exercising your entire body! This is especially important when focusing on boxing for balance issues, because a fully conditioned body makes it much easier to stand up straight, walk, and move in the ways you were meant to!
- Cognitive improvement. Boxing isn’t just beneficial to the body - it’s also beneficial to the brain! The quick movements and strategies of boxing help sharpen cognitive skills and improve alertness within the brain. With boxing comes memorization of basic punches and strategies, which helps improve brain function to make you “quick on your feet” - both literally and figuratively! This also helps those with neurological issues.
