Parkinson’s Wellness & Recovery at Norman Regional: Empowering Movement and Speech
At Norman Regional, we offer specialized Parkinson’s Wellness & Recovery (PWR! Moves®& SPEAK OUT!®) programs designed to help individuals living with Parkinson’s disease regain motor function, improve speech and enhance their quality of life. By applying the principles of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself—our structured therapy programs help slow the progression of Parkinson’s and restore functional movement and communication.
How Our Parkinson’s Programs Work
Research shows that consistent, structured exercise and therapy can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms by improving strength, mobility and vocal clarity. Our PWR! Moves® & SPEAK OUT!® programs are specifically designed to help individuals move and communicate with greater confidence.
