- Nearly one million Americans are affected by Parkinson's disease, for which there is no cure. But there is a new program using professional boxing techniques to counterpunch the neurological disorder. Correspondent Lesley Stahl and her husband, Aaron Latham, who has Parkinson's, visit the Rock Steady Boxing program to see the promising results.
Excellent work. Thanks Alex Montaldo! Glad you're a part of the Vets boxing program also.
It works, we have had Rock Steady Boxing at our retirement community in Warren, Indiana for a little over a year now. We meet 3 times a week and we are seeing great results. When we come to Florida for winter, there is no program, but my husband and I bring our gloves and mitts and hunt for a gym that will let us work out and keep up on skills for the 3 months we are in Florida.
Hello! What part of Florida are you in?
the guy at 8:05 is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. that is amazing to see
Boxing therapy has helped me manage my Parkinson's and has given me an opportunity to teach my children to Never Give Up.
❤️
Glad for program
CBS Sunday Morning showed part of this story memorializing Lesley Stahl’s husband Aaron who passed away yesterday 07.30.22.
The full story gives me hope for myself!
I don’t have Parkinson’s but I do have Multiple Sclerosis, another kind of neurological disease, that makes me so unbalanced I’ve fallen to many times that I can’t even count, I need to be rock steady and I’m not, boxing certainly can’t hurt so I’ll try it.
Thank you for this story
Love this program. There is a gym in Boulder COLO that does it now.
Hope! I love it!

How can Boxing a sport I love and competed in since 1990 cure what is a side effect of head trauma, Parkinson's syndrome I understand they aren't actually taking blows but the disease is neurological. Just like Muhammad Ali, Terry Norris and Freddie Roach to name some known former boxers who developed this "syndrome" unlike the disease it's very preventable. It's even known how and why Ali and Norris and Roach developed this "syndrome."
+Tyler Durden There are no offensive punches to the head. No contact punching. This is a therapy, using the muscles that are affected from PD, this therapy is not a cure, it helps with the symptoms...most important, not medicated treatment. I saw the piece on CBS. Here it is..please watch in it's entirety. I have family (including and ex-boxer) with PD.
