Research suggests that those with Parkinson’s disease should NOT wait until you begin to experience disability, impaired function, or loss of balance to start exercise-based physical and occupational therapy. With more than 20 years of research funded by the National Institute of Health, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) BIG is a standardized treatment with documented success.
LSVT BIG exercise techniques train individuals to use bigger movements to improve and maintain their physical abilities. This treatment encourages individuals to keep moving and to stay active in daily living.
Improvements may include the following:
Faster walking with bigger steps
Improved balance
Increased trunk rotation
Our certified LSVT BIG therapists will teach you how to avoid inactivity and keep your movements alive.
