PWR!Moves™
About
This is a group exercise approach that specifically targets Parkinson’s disease symptoms of slow or small movements. Participants will learn how to use high-effort muscle activation for bigger movements, better posture, better balance, and for improvement with everyday functions like walking, turning, rising from a chair or floor, buttoning clothing, and speaking.
Activities are tailored to help participants overcome real-world personal challenges. Becky Farley, PT, MS, PhD, creator of LSVT® BIG and PWR!Moves™, designed this community exercise class to promote early intervention and continuous access to research-based exercise program.
Registration and prescreening is required to attend classes. Class fee is $5 per session or can be included in the MAPC monthly $30 pass. Please contact Patty at 602-406-3840 to register.
All new class participants must have an assessment prior to starting any exercise class. Registration is required for all classes. Call Patty Hatton at (602) 406-3840 or email Patrice.Hatton@DignityHealth.org to schedule an assessment or register for classes.
