Therapeutic Boxing Program
Occupational Therapy
Our Therapeutic Boxing Program, led by our Occupational Therapy Team, operates throughout the school term, spanning from week 1 to week 10. Tailored specifically for children and young people with additional needs or disabilities, our non-contact program is founded on evidence-based practices.
​
In our initial session, our Occupational Therapists conduct a thorough assessment to establish individual goals, requirements, and abilities. Working closely with both the child and their families, we set goals to enhance coordination, fitness, motor skills, and mental health and well-being.
​
Each 60-minute session is packed with a variety of activities, including non-contact boxing techniques, footwork and agility drills, coordination and balance exercises, and strength-building activities. Our Occupational Therapists also incorporate social and emotional elements such as interactive games, positive affirmations, and mindfulness practices.
Benefits of Therapeutic Boxing include:
Physical Health & Fitness
We concentrate on improving the child's physical fitness, strength, coordination, body awareness, and balance through tailored exercises and boxing techniques.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Engaging in physical activities like boxing can lead to stress relief, improved focus, enhanced self-confidence, and emotional well-being.
Social & Community Interaction
Our program encourages social interaction, community engagement, and a sense of belonging among participants, fostering interpersonal connections and peer support.
