For many, the diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) can feel overwhelming.
LSVT Big therapy is a wonderful therapeutic program which places patients back in the driver’s seat – providing the tools to navigate the condition with reduced symptoms and a sense of empowerment.
LSVT Big treatments are tailored to each person’s own abilities and goals. Its holistic approach addresses not only movement issues, but also emotional and cognitive changes. It helps people “recalibrate” to recognize when their movements are smaller or slower than they think. It is designed to help people apply what they learn in treatment sessions to more comfortable, confident movements in everyday life beyond treatment sessions.
