PWR Program

What is The PWR

PWR or Parkinson's Wellness Program, is a researched base functional movement program to help people with Parkinson's and other neurological conditions improve their mobility and stability in their daily routines.

When should I start treatment?

Patients typically notice the best results before severe symptoms begin; however, it is never too late to start. The sooner the treatment begins the easier it is to restore movement and have successful outcomes.

What should I expect?

  • A daily commitment to exercise 

  • Intense but tailored exercises to you as an individual  

  • Constant feedback from your PWR! certified therapist to improve your quality of movement 

  • Improved balance, mobility, and function by the end of the program

  • Periodic follow-up visits with PT as needed for patient progression and changes

The Program

The basic 4 PWR! moves are designed to each target a specific skill that seems to deteriorate in people dealing with Parkinson's.

The PWR! moves are designed to be proformed in various positions, with a specific progression to allow for more physical and cognitive challenges as patient's work through the program. This program is designed to help mitigate symptoms and rebuild functionality.  

Proven Benefits of PWR

  • Decrease rigidity and improve posture

  • Increase amplitude of movements / address small motions associated with PD

  • Improve coordination and balance

  • Improve stability with gait, self-care and daily routine.
