Parkinson Wellness Recovery, or PWR! (pronounced “power”), is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to cutting-edge therapy, exercise, and wellness programs for as many people with Parkinson disease as possible.

PWR! was founded in Tucson, Arizona in 2010 by Dr. Becky Farley to develop a more personalized and comprehensive approach for helping people with PD, beyond the LSVT BIG protocol she had already created. She knew that no two people have the same kind of Parkinson disease, and that any successful exercise approach would need to be adaptable to fit each individual’s goals and symptoms.

Dr. Farley then opened our PWR!Gym, a place where people with Parkinson disease receive ongoing access to physical and exercise therapies and social support to help them get better and stay better longer.

PWR!’s programs are designed to help people with Parkinson’s:

Improve motor and non-motor symptoms
Restore function, mobility, and posture
Increase their daily quality of life, overall physical activity, and fitness ability, as a way of living their best lives
