PWR!Moves™ are the building blocks of FUNction that underlie all meaningful activities including sports and recreation. We have identified 4 MOVES that are especially important for people with Parkinson disease.
PWR!Moves can be implemented across disease severity, used as stand-alone one-on-one rehab or as a group exercise program, and combined with other therapy. PWR!Moves can be done anytime and anywhere, and integrated into group exercise, personal training, yoga, lifestyle activities, pole walking, dance, martial arts, recreational sports and more!
Parkinson’s specific exercise will teach you how to move with amplitude, power and speed in everyday tasks so that you can get back to doing the things you enjoy doing.

PWR!Moves are the core of our PD-specific functional exercise and physical therapy programs. The Basic 4 PWR!Moves are designed to each target a skill known to deteriorate in people with Parkinson disease, which often lead to loss of mobility and function.
PWR!Moves are performed as big and fast as possible, with repetitive effort. PWR!Moves are linked together into longer and longer sequences that mimic everyday movement. PWR!Moves are performed with high attentional focus to engage across multiple motor systems.
10 cze 2022 · Moves, an exercise framework that is flexible and evidence-based (and updated frequently to include the latest research). It addresses target skills specific to PD. The most fundamental of these skills include antigravity extension, weight shifting, axial rotation, and transitional movements – all done with amplitude, i.e. BIG!.
