PWR! stands for Parkinson Wellness Recovery. PWR! Academy training workshops are not a specific approach or protocol. PWR! trains PD-exercise experts! PWR! Academy courses train clinicians and fitness professionals in how to implement exercise and enrichment programs that target the multiple areas of PD-specific deficits in motor/cognitive/emotional functioning. PWR! experts learn about all the research that offers promise to delay disease onset, slow disease progression, restore motor function, and increase longevity and quality of life. PWR! clinician experts learn how to make sure their 1:1 programs adhere to the essential Exercise4Brainchange principles (specificity, intensity, complexity,saliency) shown to promote learning, plasticity, and brain repair. PWR! fitness experts learn how to take their own areas of specialty (Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates, Dance, etc) and do what they do better to help people with PD. PWR! teaches everyone the same framework (ActivationAwareness™) which takes into account the latest basic and clinical science research on neuroplasticity and learning. Thus, clinicians and fitness professionals learn a similar language. We believe this will promote integration of community and rehab and healthcare resources to ultimately address the unmet needs in PD rehab. These PWR! experts will lead the Parkinson Exercise Revolution and break down barriers including early intervention, community programming, and continuous access to "neurofitness for life." This is a grassroots revolution! We need YOU!Becky Farley
