Discover the Benefits of LSVT BIG® Parkinson’s Therapy
Welcome to LSVT BIG® therapy – a groundbreaking approach designed to empower anyone living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions to reclaim their mobility and independence. Developed in 1987 by Dr. Lorraine Ramig and Dr. Cynthia Fox, LSVT BIG stands for “Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG” and is founded on evidence-based practices.
The Guiding Principle: Think BIG!
LSVT BIG trains individuals living with PD to reclaim their body’s natural movements. With PD, gestures and actions often become smaller and slower, impacting daily activities like getting dressed, moving around, and more. LSVT BIG “reeducates” muscles for tasks ranging from small motor skills like buttoning a shirt to larger movements like standing up or walking with balance.
This personalized treatment recalibrates how you perceive your movements and teaches you when and how to apply extra effort, mirroring the movements of those around you. The result? Improved walking, self-care, and overall functionality.
Beneficial Every Step of the Way
Customized to your specific needs and goals, LSVT BIG therapy is beneficial at any time or stage. Starting early or in the middle stages may yield optimal results, potentially slowing symptom progression. However, even if you’re facing significant physical challenges, LSVT BIG can lead to remarkable improvements.
Mastering larger movements taught by our LSVT BIG-certified therapists is an ongoing journey. Consistent practice is key. That’s where LSVT BIG therapy shines, focusing on repetition, progressive challenges, and daily home practice.
Don’t let Parkinson’s hold you back. Take the first step towards a more active, fulfilling life with LSVT BIG therapy. For more information or to schedule a consultation, contact us today.
