PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES----THE PWRGYM IS A MODEL COMMUNITY WELLNESS CENTER IN TUCSON, ARIZONA, WHERE PARKINSON-SPECIALIZED PHYSICAL THERAPISTS PROVIDE RESEARCH-BASED THERAPY TO THOSE LIVING WITH PARKINSON DISEASE. THE FUNCTIONAL THERAPEUTIC APPROACH, PWRMOVES, WAS CREATED BY PWR FOUNDER AND CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER, DR. BECKY FARLEY, PHD, MS, PT. WHILE THE MAJORITY OF CLIENTS ARE LOCAL TO THE TUCSON AREA, DOZENS COME TO THE PWRGYM EACH YEAR FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AND ELSEWHERE TO BENEFIT FROM THE CUTTING-EDGE THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS PROVIDED. THROUGH REGULAR INDIVIDUAL THERAPY AND UNIQUE "INTENSIVE" PROGRAMS, PWR PROVIDED NEARLY 4,000 HOURS OF THERAPY TO INSURANCE AND SELF-PAY CLIENTS DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE APPLICABLE REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, PWRGYM THERAPISTS OFFERED THESE SERVICES VIRTUALLY, PROVIDING VITAL SKILLED SUPPORT SERVICES TO A PATIENT POPULATION THAT MUST KEEP MOVING TO MAINTAIN PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION.
EXERCISE AND WELLNESS SERVICES---AT THE PWRGYM, PARKINSON-EXERCISE SPECIALISTS TYPICALLY CONDUCT ABOUT FORTY (40) MULTI-LEVEL GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES WEEKLY. WHEN THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC RAMPED UP IN ARIZONA, PWR STOPPED PROVIDING IN-PERSON FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS. COGNIZANT OF THE POTENTIAL COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL DECLINE ASSOCIATED WITH INACTIVITY AND ISOLATION IN PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON DISEASE, PWR SUCCESSFULLY PIVOTED TO VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING BY CONDUCTING LIVE- STREAMED EXERCISE CLASSES AND PROVIDING VIRTUAL ONE-ON-ONE WELLNESS CONSULTATIONS. ULTIMATELY, THE NEW "PWR VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE" WAS BORN, FEATURING MULTI-LEVEL, PRE-RECORDED EXERCISE VIDEOS TO HELP PEOPLE OUR CLIENTS MAINTAIN THEIR LEVEL OF FITNESS AND QUALITY OF LIFE. FURTHERMORE, THE PWR VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE, LOCATED AT WWW.EXERCISEFORBRAINCHANGE.ORG - IS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION, SO PEOPLE WITH PD ANYWHERE CAN RECEIVE PARKINSON-SPECIFIC EXERCISE SERVICES. SUBSCRIBERS CAN EXERCISE IN THEIR HOME OR WHEREVER THEY ARE BY CHOOSING PRERECORDED VIDEOS OF MORE THAN A DOZEN DIFFERENT MODALITIES OF EXERCISE VIDEOS OR PARTICIPATE IN A LIVE CLASS WITH REAL-TIME FEEDBACK FROM A PD-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTOR.
CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR THERAPY AND EXERCISE PROFESSIONALS---EACH YEAR, PWR CONDUCTS WORKSHOPS IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD TO TRAIN AND CERTIFY PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS AND EXERCISE PROFESSIONALS IN THE PWRMOVES METHODOLOGY. PWR WORKSHOPS ARE UNIQUE IN THE CONTINUING EDUCATION ARENA BECAUSE OF LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AND PRACTICA FEATURING VOLUNTEERS WITH PD, WHICH GIVES PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBSERVE, LEARN, AND THEN PRACTICE THE SKILLS BEING TAUGHT. THERAPIST WORKSHOPS TEACH HOW TO DESIGN COMPREHENSIVE, INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPY PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE WITH PD THAT ADDRESS MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS ACROSS VARYING LEVELS OF FUNCTIONALITY. INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOPS TEACH PARTICIPANTS HOW TO DESIGN AND TEACH COMMUNITY GROUP EXERCISE PROGRAMS UTILIZING LARGE AND FAST FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS (BASED ON THE PWRMOVES) TO DECREASE THE SYMPTOMS OF PD IN PARTICIPANTS. TOGETHER, THESE WORKSHOPS TRAIN PROFESSIONALS TO CREATE A CLINICAL-TO-COMMUNITY MODEL OF CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH PD TO MAINTAIN FUNCTION AND QUALITY OF LIFE USING APPROPRIATELY TIMED BOUTS OF THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION WITH CONTINUED COMMUNITY-BASED EXERCISE PROGRAMS IN BETWEEN BOUTS.
