Fitness Fridays: PWR! Moves (Parkinson's Wellness Recovery Moves)

PWR! Moves (Parkinson's Wellness Recovery Moves) is a Parkinson's-specific training program to maintain or restore skills that deteriorate and interfere with everyday movements. PWR!Moves are performed with large, whole body movements, maximum effort, and intentional action in multiple postures (floor, all 4's, sitting, and standing). These Parkinson's exercise classes specifically target "4" skills shown by research to target mobility in people with PD (muscle strength for upright posture, weight shifting, spine flexibility, and transitional movements). As a restult, persons with PD gain body awareness and maintain functional movements.
