“A contracted cpa prepares the 990, and the form is reviewed at three levels: management, treasurer and finance committee, and then the full board. After the finance committee approves the final draft of the 990, the cpa receives notice to submit the form(s) to the irs.

“Pwr monitors conflicts of interest to avoid both actual and perceived conflicts of interest. Each director, principal officer, and other persons with perceived and/or actual influence within the organization signs an annual statement which affirms s/he (1) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, (2) has read and understands the policy, and (3) has agreed to comply with the policy. During board meetings, the chair inquires about possible conflicts, and if any exist, the affected persons are asked to recuse themselves from voting on any action that directly impacts the affected relationship. Compensation and benefits arrangements, along with other business relationships are periodically reviewed for reasonability, proper documentation, and to ensure that no impermissible private benefits result.”

“Pwr will develop and implement worldwide access to parkinson disease- specific neuroplasticity-principled programming that holds promise to slow disease progression, improve symptoms, restore function, and increase longevity and quality of life.”

“Physical therapy services----the pwrgym is a model community wellness center in tucson, arizona, where parkinson-specialized physical therapists provide research-based therapy to those living with parkinson disease. The functional therapeutic approach, pwrmoves, was created by pwr founder and chief scientific officer, dr. Becky farley, phd, ms, pt. While the majority of clients are local to the tucson area, dozens come to the pwrgym each year from around the united states, canada, and elsewhere to benefit from the cutting-edge therapeutic programs provided. Through regular individual therapy and unique "intensive" programs, pwr provided nearly 4,000 hours of therapy to insurance and self-pay clients during this fiscal year. During the height of the covid-19 pandemic, and in alignment with guidelines established by the applicable regulatory authorities, pwrgym therapists offered these services virtually, providing vital skilled support services to a patient population that must keep moving to maintain physical and cognitive function.”

“Exercise and wellness services---at the pwrgym, parkinson-exercise specialists typically conduct about forty (40) multi-level group exercise classes weekly. When the covid-19 global pandemic ramped up in arizona, pwr stopped providing in-person for the safety of its employees and clients. Cognizant of the potential cognitive and physical decline associated with inactivity and isolation in people with parkinson disease, pwr successfully pivoted to virtual programming by conducting live- streamed exercise classes and providing virtual one-on-one wellness consultations. Ultimately, the new "pwr virtual experience" was born, featuring multi-level, pre-recorded exercise videos to help people our clients maintain their level of fitness and quality of life. Furthermore, the pwr virtual experience, located at www.exerciseforbrainchange.org - is available to anyone with an internet connection, so people with pd anywhere can receive parkinson-specific exercise services. Subscribers can exercise in their home or wherever they are by choosing prerecorded videos of more than a dozen different modalities of exercise videos or participate in a live class with real-time feedback from a pd-specific instructor.”

“Continuing education for therapy and exercise professionals---each year, pwr conducts workshops in the us and around the world to train and certify physical and occupational therapists and exercise professionals in the pwrmoves methodology. Pwr workshops are unique in the continuing education arena because of live demonstrations and practica featuring volunteers with pd, which gives participants the opportunity to observe, learn, and then practice the skills being taught. Therapist workshops teach how to design comprehensive, individualized therapy programs for people with pd that address multiple symptoms across varying levels of functionality. Instructor workshops teach participants how to design and teach community group exercise programs utilizing large and fast functional movements (based on the pwrmoves) to decrease the symptoms of pd in participants. Together, these workshops train professionals to create a clinical-to-community model of care for people with pd to maintain function and quality of life using appropriately timed bouts of therapeutic intervention with continued community-based exercise programs in between bouts. To date, pwr has trained over 4,000 therapists and 1,100 instructors who are providing pd-specialized programs around the globe.”

“Science & research ----- in addition to the services previously described, pwr also maintains a dynamic science & research program. As an active research site, pwr clinical staff retain a database of de-identified patient data reflecting results of tests and measures taken at regular intervals throughout participation in pwr programs. Data is routinely analyzed internally and with outside institutional partners to explore various questions and periodically present and publish the results. Led by dr. Becky farley, phd, staff also compile the most recent research on parkinson disease and pd-specific movement therapies, translating the science into cutting-edge programs and services offered at the pwrgym, through the pwr virtual experience, and through continuing education courses for therapy and exercise professionals. Parkinson wellness recovery (pwr) received a grant from the triskeles foundation to help support the parkinsons pantomime project. The parkinsons pantomime project, created and run by rob mermin, is a mime- based movement therapy program based on motor-skills adapted from the techniques of pantomime and circus to modify or alleviate symptoms of idiopathic parkinsons disease.”
