Tackling Parkinson's With Boxing

The Black Country Blokes

Charles Delve will be joining us tonight to talk about Box Positive.

Charles is a former England boxer for Droitwich ABC and is now bringing the next generation along as a coach and doing his day job as an Occupational Therapist.

Box Positive is a community interest company that has been going for just over three years, and it has had great success with people with Parkinson's. Box Positive's vision is non-contact boxing to be used more in healthcare to help people battle illness and disability using a boxers positive fighting mentality and rehab exercises that are fun!
