Urban Poling Inc. and PWR! Join Forces at World Parkinson's Conference to Enhance Mobility Solutions

Enhancing Mobility for Parkinson’s Community: A Partnership Announcement



On May 26, 2026, at the Phoenix Convention Centre, Urban Poling Inc. announced its exciting partnership with PWR! (Parkinson Wellness Recovery) during the World Parkinson's Conference. This global event is a significant gathering that encourages people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, along with their caregivers, researchers, and healthcare professionals, to share valuable insights and experiences. Facilitating a sense of community, this conference aims to foster collaboration and inspire hope within the Parkinson's community.

Understanding PWR!


Founded by Dr. Becky G. Farley in 2011, PWR! stands as a pioneer in Parkinson's care. This organization has made it its mission to translate the latest scientific insights into actionable initiatives. Through innovative programs, PWR! equips professionals worldwide to provide specialized care to the PD community, emphasizing PD-specific skill training that sustains and retrains the essential movements that often diminish due to the disease. Their holistic approach integrates innovative exercises, known as PWR!Moves, which address various symptoms of Parkinson's.

The organization firmly believes that exercise is crucial to the well-being of people living with Parkinson's. PWR! provides accessible exercise and wellness programs at their PWR!Gym located in Tucson, Arizona, and trains physical and occupational therapists to implement these movements effectively in their practice. By offering intensive week-long Retreats, they actively promote the idea of Exercise as Medicine among those affected by Parkinson's.
