Box Positive

Individuals adapt and manage daily tasks more effectively.

Box Positive also offers sessions for individuals living with autism and other neurological, mental, and physical health conditions. These sessions are designed to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to participate in exercise and improve their overall well-being. Charles Delve, the founder and lead instructor of Box Positive, has expertise in working with a wide range of conditions and is able to adapt exercises to suit individual needs.

Charles Delve is not only an Occupational Therapist but also a boxing coach at Droitwich amateur boxing club. He brings his experience as a former British amateur boxing champion to the Box Positive programme. Additionally, Charles is the first UK qualified 'Counterpunch Parkinsons' coach and specialist fitness trainer. This unique combination of skills and qualifications allows him to deliver a comprehensive exercise programme that is both enjoyable and effective.

Box Positive sessions incorporate boxing-based exercises that have been specifically chosen to target Parkinson's symptoms. For example, the fast punches delivered in rhythmic combinations help address difficulties with movement initiation and slowed movements. The exercises are carefully tailored to combat the symptoms of Parkinson's and promote overall physical and cognitive well-being.

Individuals interested in joining Box Positive are encouraged to book an initial 1-1 session with Charles. This allows for a personalised programme to be designed based on the individual's specific needs and goals. The sessions can take place in the comfort of one's own home or at Droitwich Amateur boxing club, ensuring flexibility and convenience for clients.

Box Positive's group sessions provide a welcoming, fun, and supportive environment for individuals to learn and exercise together. The exercises not only focus on physical fitness but also require thinking skills and coordination. Laughter is emphasised as an important aspect of the sessions, creating a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for participants.

Overall, Box Positive aims to maximise independence and improve quality of life for individuals living with Parkinson's and other conditions. Charles Delve's expertise as an Occupational Therapist and his qualifications as a boxing coach and specialist fitness trainer make Box Positive a unique and valuable resource for those seeking Parkinson's-specific exercise and support.
