Dr. Becky Farley co-created the LSVT® BIG therapy program in the early 2000’s, then went on to establish PWR! A non-profit that started with the PWR!Gym in Tucson, AZ in 2010.

Dr. Farley discusses the evolution of exercise for people with Parkinson’s and how she got started on the path as well as what she sees as the most important components. She discusses why she left LSVT BIG to create something new and how to ensure your clients with Parkinson’s live their fullest lives. Are you getting your clients with Parkinson’s on the floor?
