Local Trainer Helping People with Parkinson’s Manage Symptoms Through Boxing

Trainer, Derick Gramling, owner of Team Lift Fitness, believes boxing holds ‘everlasting opportunities.’  Gramling read research about the benefits of boxing for those with Parkinson’s and was devoted to helping.

Gramling stated, “As Parkinson’s progresses sometimes you lose your vocals, you get club foot, you can’t move as much as you used to. Your brain function slows. So with boxing, you have to think about the eye hand coordination, the commands you’re giving the person.”
