PWR!Moves® is an exercise program that was developed to help people with Parkinson's Disease to manage and improve their symptoms, including slow and small movements, rigidity, and poor balance.
Doing these moves in sitting is a good way to reduce the stiffness and rounded posture that often go along with sitting for long periods at a time.
Once you've learned the basic seated moves and you feel ready for more of a challenge, adding a resistance band is a easy thing to add and will help you to build more strength more easily.
Standing up from a chair takes a combination of strength, flexibility, and balance. Doing the PWR!Moves in the sitting and standing positions helps improve all of those things.
Exercising on your back is another great way to work on your posture, using gravity to open up your shoulders, chest, and hips. Doing these exercises will help with movements in the bed, like rolling and scooting.
Exercising on the floor on your stomach is a great way to use gravity to help improve your posture, opening up your shoulders, chest, and hips.
This is a great position to work in because it allows you to practice getting on and off the floor, and the more comfortable you are doing this, the less likely you are to fall.
If getting onto your hands and knees is too difficult or intimidating, learn how to use a chair for support, either on your knees or standing.
Doing the PWR!Moves in standing can help with just about everything you do. It's fundamental to posture, balance, stepping, reaching, getting dressed, and walking.
