April is Parkinson Awareness Month, and residents at Brandywine Living at Princeton are beating the effects of Parkinson’s punch by punch.

During a study at the University of Indianapolis’ Krannert School of Physical Therapy, 88 volunteers with Parkinson’s disease participated in the Rock Steady boxing regimen, which includes lateral foot work, bag punching, stretching, resistance exercises and aerobic training. The study found that “boxers” demonstrated significantly better balance and walking function over time, according to information provided by Brandywine.
