Beat PD Today is a program that will improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s by performing exercises that are functional to everyday living. Boxing is a large part of the program and has shown to improve symptoms in Parkinson's and slow the progression of the disease. Boxing helps balance, explosiveness, strength, mental strength and more. Common symptoms such as gait, balance and motor control will improve over time and the progression of the disease will remain slow. Participants will feel better both emotionally and physically.
