Good Shepherd Penn Partners Sets the Stage for Parkinson's Patients to
  "Fight" Disease Progression 
From: Rehab Management - 04/02/2014

In an effort to further its commitment to innovative treatments for patients
with Parkinson's disease (PD), Good Shepherd Penn Partners has introduced a
new program called Rock Steady Boxing (RSB). 

Scott Newman, former Indiana prosecutor who was diagnosed with Young Onset
Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD), founded the RSB program in 2006. Following his
diagnosis, Newman reportedly noticed improvements in his physical health,
agility, functional movements, and quality of life once he began to engage in
one-on-one intense boxing sessions. To this end, Newman hired Kristy Rose
Follmer, former world professional boxer, and opened up a boxing gym designed
for individuals with PD. RSB has also developed a 3-day certification course
in order to reach a wide range of clinicians, trainers, and individuals with
Parkinson's.
