Is boxing good for joint pain during perimenopause?

Boxing can be helpful for managing joint pain during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in joint pain.

The key with boxing for joint pain is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when joint pain is more severe, a gentler approach to boxing may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Boxing specifically may help with joint pain through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular boxing, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for joint pain than occasional intense sessions.
