Evidence Based Model

Resilience Boxing integrates boxing, social work, and trauma recovery through an evidence-based framework informed by the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), developed by Dr Bruce Perry.

​

The NMT is a widely recognised, neuroscience-based approach that organises assessment and intervention according to the sequential development of the brain and the impact of trauma on neurobiological functioning.

​

Drawing on this model, Resilience Boxing programs are structured to first regulate the body, then engage the mind, and finally strengthen social and emotional connection. This sequencing reflects trauma-informed neuroscience, which demonstrates that healing and learning are most effective when the nervous system is stabilised and the body experiences safety before cognitive or relational work occurs.

​

Through this model, Resilience Boxing connects neuroscience, social work, and sport to create a structured, trauma-informed pathway from regulation to recovery, supporting participants to rebuild wellbeing, confidence, and connection.
