Parkinson"s Wellness Place is a non-profit dedicated to providing health and wellness services for people living with Parkinson"s Disease, their families, and care partners in Snohomish and surrounding counties. We started in June 2017 as a non-contact boxing program for people with Parkinson’s, called Rock Steady Boxing. This program was created and is adaptable for people with various stages of Parkinson’s and of all fitness abilities. Today we have expanded our offerings to establish a wellness place for People with Parkinson’s. Currently we offer nine Rock Steady Boxing Classes and 1 Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR!) Moves class a week, one-on-one personal training, and periodic Day Camps and social outings.
