Parkinson's Boxing Classes
17 Branches collaborates with The Pound Gym in Scottsdale to offer Parkinson’s specific boxing classes. Boxing and other exercises have been shown to help with the symptoms of PD patients. It may even slow the progression of the disease.
Classes are $5 and offered every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30AM for all skill and mobility levels.
The Pound Gym is located @ 15090 N. Northsight Blvd, Scottsdale.

Women Only PD Support Group
17 Branches is passionate about supporting People with Parkinson’s. One way we do this is to lead a Phoenix area support group for women with the disease. Women experience the symptoms of PD differently than men. They tend to receive lower-quality healthcare than men. Women often need to transform from care provider to care receiver over time. This women-only support group provides a unique forum for women to learn and assist each other throughout their journey living their best life with Parkinson’s. We meet via Zoom every other month and in-person the other months at the Bob Bove Neurological Institute at HonorHealth. The meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of the month from 3-4:30PM MST.
Please CONTACT US to join this fantastic group of welcoming women.
Educational Workshops
17 Branches partners with various organizations to help educate the Parkinson’s community on how to use technology to better manage your health for positive outcomes. We work in groups and one-on-one with people to help them to use their electronic devices to view webinars, use apps, command smart speakers, etc.
