What is LSVT BIG?
LSVT BIG is a research-backed therapy designed to address the movement challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease. Over time, neurological conditions can cause movements to become smaller and slower, making daily tasks difficult. This therapy helps retrain the body to move with bigger, more deliberate motions, improving mobility, balance, and overall function, allowing patients to regain confidence in their daily activities.
Through structured, high-effort exercises, patients can see improvements in:
- Walking speed and stride length
- Arm swings and balance
- Coordination and confidence in movement
- Daily tasks like dressing, writing, and reaching
