The PWR! Rock & Reach exercise (from Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR!)) is a dynamic, rhythmic movement that targets some of the biggest challenges in Parkinson’s disease: reduced weight shifting, reduced trunk extension and decreased movement amplitude.
This exercise re-trains lateral weight transfer, which is essential for side stepping, turning and initiating first step. The exaggerated reach to a target drives amplitude of movement which counteracts slow movements (bradykinesia) seen in PD, as well as trunk elongation and extension. It is also great for balance confidence!
It’s purposeful, big, and externally cued which is exactly what the Parkinson’s brain needs.
