Did you know that research suggests that exercising is one of the best ways to manage Parkinson’s symptoms? In fact, kickboxing has been gaining traction worldwide as a go-to activity for those with Parkinson’s. What can it help with? It turns out that it can help improve motor skills, balance and strength, and alleviate symptoms.
Kickboxing for Parkinson’s has reached all corners of the globe. Inspired by successful martial arts and boxing programs established in the United States, Parkinson’s nurse Beate Schönwald, decided the same programs should be available in her home country of Germany, over 4000 miles away. And so the “Kick-Parkinson” project was born - a kickboxing group for people with Parkinson’s.
SYMBYX team member, Ann, had the privilege of meeting Beate and the group in April, to hear about how kickboxing has changed the lives of its members. For example, hear from Karin below.
