Parkinson Wellness Recovery — Local services in Tucson

A MUST HAVE for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners. My husband was diagnosed a couple of years ago and we were fortunate to learn about PWR! We attended the RETREAT in May this year and it was without a doubt, life changing for both of us. The staff is spectacular! Well trained, enthusiastic, patient, kind, understanding and effective. We learned to pole walk which we have now incorporated into our weekly routine. We felt total support within the people with Parkinson’s group, care givers group and all of the staff and educators. Physicians and researchers attend and provide enlightening presentations about nutrition, treatment, clinical trials and all things Parkinson’s. This is an absolute must to explore if you are impacted by PD. AND: The IMMERSIVE ONE ON ONE WEEK was the perfect “tune up” for my husband which we did in November of this year.

And if you live in the Tucson area, be grateful for daily access to this...

Frankly I think ANYONE with Parkinson's disease, not just those who live in Tucson, would find the programs here of great benefit. There are also different priced memberships that are month to month so you are not committed to a...

I have been going to PWR for almost 2 years and would highly recommend the facility and staff to anyone who has Parkinson's Disease or any other movement disorder. After using their one on one trainers which Medicare covers for up to 10 sessions with a doctors referral I have signed for their Boxing class which meets 3 times a week for 50 minutes. The instructors have been very good to excellent and it has noticeably helped my physical...
