Rock Steady Boxing Robson Ranch

Hope.

Last month when I attended the Rock Steady Affiliate training program, the message of hope was communicated in such a way, that every Boxer that walked in their doors, knew there would be a better tomorrow.

I want to share the The Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's Mission and message:  

If you are living with Parkinson's, you are not alone.

The mission of Rock Steady Boxing is to maximize the mental, emotional, and physical potential of people with Parkinson's disease throughout their lives.  The program helps them to adapt, eliminating the commonly occurring negative self-talk or self-image accompanying a degenerative, presently incurable illness.  Instead, we emphasize the enhancements possible to their quality of life and ability to perform and enjoy activities of daily living.

This is accomplished through an intensive and rigorous regimen and plan of exercise delivered in a welcoming, professional and supportive environment.

The Rock Steady Boxing workouts are designed to be challenging, but fun.  Here are just a few pictures of the Rock Steady Boxing workouts at Robson Ranch, Denton, Texas.

If you are living with Parkinson's, you are not alone.

Continuing Education at the Cooper Institute

We never stop learning, and someone is teaching me something new everyday.  I have many teachers in my life and I'm constantly reminded that I still have much to learn.  With that being said, I've had the opportunity to attend some great classes at the Cooper Institute in Dallas, Biomechanics of Resistance Training and Corrective Exercises for Injury Prevention. 

As a Trainer and Massage Therapist, the more I can learn about how our bodies interact with forces being applied to them and or the opposite, the more I can help my clients improve their quality of life.  And for many of us, that is what it is all about.  Being able to enjoy family, friends, grandkids, going to park, or simple walks.  

Exercise and massage therapy are wonderful tools that can help us all keep ourselves moving a bit more stable, and hopefully pain free.

Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's

About a month ago I decided to join the fight against Parkinson's.  With the help and support of family, friends, and clients, I made the trip to Indianapolis to learn how to implement the Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's program and bring it back to Robson Ranch, Denton.

We are beginning our 3rd week and so far it is going very well.  I know there are many other "battles" to join, but I decided to join this one because of my clients.  Two of my clients brought this program to my attention last year, and after researching it on my own, I knew I had to and wanted to get involved.  I knew I could help make a difference.

If you are battling Parkinson's, living with Parkinson's, you need to know you are not alone.
