Rock Steady Boxing is a first-of-its-kind, non-contact boxing-inspired fitness routine, and is dramatically improving the ability of people with Parkinson’s to live independent lives. This class enables people with Parkinson’s disease to fight their disease by providing programs that improve their quality of life and sense of efficacy and self-worth. Recent studies also suggest that intense exercise programs may be “neuro-protective”, actually working to delay the progression of symptoms.

Neurobics
Engage your brain in unexpected ways.
Neurobics is the idea that by challenging your brain in novel ways, you can help improve its overall function and plasticity: the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to new experiences. Think of this class as aerobics for your brain.
This class is designed to keep you mentally sharp and physically active. Participants will perform physical and cognitive exercises which include memory, multi tasking and sequence drills. The class is suitable for anyone with an aging brain. The class is also appropriate for people with Parkinson’s, MS or for those recovering from a stroke.
Body Weight Supported Exercise Training for Parkinson’s

This is a FREE support group specifically for active people who also have Parkinson's. Hosted at Neuro Path Wellness on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Email us for more information.
