PWR!MOVES CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR DARLA LARSON |
PWR!Moves is a PD-specific skill training program to maintain or restore skills that deteriorate and interfere with everyday movements. Dr. Farley created PWR!Moves® as the EVOLUTION of her original LSVT BIG® exercise program.
The BASIC4 | PWR!Moves® offer a flexible and functional amplitude-focused exercise approach that targets multiple symptoms, and that allows for adaptation for disease severity. PWR!Moves can be combined and progressed into a stand-alone group program or intergrated into ANY exercise program, ANY activity (function, activites of daily living, recreation, sports, and hobbies), in ANY setting (community group or rehab 1:1), by therapists and fitness professionals. The BASIC4 | PWR!Moves are performed with large amplitude, high effort, and attention to action in multiple postures (floor, all 4’s, sitting, and standing). They specifically target “4” skills shown by research to interfere with mobility in people with PD (antigravity extention, weight shifting, axial mobility, and transitional movements). CLASS SCHEDULE
MONDAYS 1:30 TO 2:30 PM $12/DROP-IN OR $80 FOR 8-PASS PUNCHCARD ($10/CLASS) |
Fluid Fitness is pleased to offer a new class for those affected by Parkinson's Disease.
There are two main types of exercises important in any Parkinson's specific exercise plan:
1. Progressive Aerobic Exercise, which is any exercise that increases your heart rate. This is important for increasing blood flow up to the brain to improve brain health.
2. Skill Based Exercise, which is any exercise where you are trying to get BETTER at what you are doing. Examples are playing a sport, balance training, functional mobility (to do daily activities easier like get in and out of bed, down onto the floor and back up)!
PWR CIRCUIT CLASS COMBINES BOTH OF THESE
The PWR! Moves are large amplitude based functional exercises that were developed by Dr. Becky Farley to specifically target the essential skills that are often affected by Parkinson's Disease such as posture and flexibility.
In this PWR! Circuit class we incorporate these pwr moves to ensure you maintain the skills required for all activities of daily living, and to provide you with the movement and skills to participate in the hobbies you love such as golf, tennis, biking, gardening or even just getting outside.
In addition we add circuits to provide a good amount of variety with the exercises. Circuits focus on specific skills such as balance, flexibility, strength, agility and functional mobility.
All the exercises can be modified to accommodate previous injuries or mobility limitations
Although this class is designed for those affected with Parkinson's Disease, caregivers are welcome to join as well because balance, strength and mobility can be decreased in anyone as they age.
Instructor: Darla Larsen, Certified Personal Trainer and PWR moves instructor
