Parkinson Wellness Recovery - PWR! Information

PWR!® is a 501(c)3, tax-exempt organization based in Tucson, Arizona created to develop and implement worldwide access to cutting-edge exercise programs for people with Parkinson disease. The exercises are based on principles of neuroplasticity and research that demonstrates how exercise can slow disease progression, improve symptoms, restore function and increase longevity and quality of life. The PWR!® mission is carried out through three programs: 1) the PWR!Gym® -- a model neurofitness center that uniquely integrates rehabilitation, fitness and wellness under one roof and serves Tucson-area residents as well as clients from across the country with individual consultation; 2) PWR!Moves® Workshops -- national and international training and certification for physical/occupational therapists and fitness professionals to implement Parkinson-specific functional training and other research-based exercise programs in their practices; and, 3) PWR!® Retreat—an annual one week immersive experience for people living with Parkinson disease and their care partners focused on exercise, education, engagement, and empowerment.
