Boxing therapy

One of the interventions within Physiotherapy Randwijck's treatment offer is boxing therapy. Working with boxing gloves is an interesting intervention. By combining doing, moving, feeling and experiencing, you can achieve your desired goals. During the sessions, we work on this in a targeted way. For instance, it could be about more autonomy, self-confidence, awareness, stability, inner connection, overview, structure, firmness, healthy emotion regulation or relief of trauma-related complaints.

It is a body-oriented and experiential intervention. Unconscious processes can be made conscious with boxing therapy. You may encounter internal blockages or resistance in yourself through boxing therapy. You are challenged to deal with these in a safe way. It can lead to more confidence in your own abilities and actions. You may also notice that you dare to take up space more easily, that you can set boundaries and learn to name what is experienced emotionally from the here and now.
