What is LSVT BIG

22/7/2016

 
​LSVT BIG is  an exercise therapy program designed for people with Parkinson's disease.
 
It is an intensive treatment program delivered by specifically trained physiotherapist or occupational therapist over a one month period with a total of 16 one hour sessions.
 
The training specifically focuses on increasing amplitude of movement “bigness” to enhance overall mobility and function.
 
It is based on the principles of LSVT Loud a speech therapy technique for Parkinsons disease.
 
LSVT BIG is designed to be prescribed to patients at initial diagnosis is research is showing lifestyle modification and exercise has a huge impact on quality-of-life but it is never too late to start exercising and should be a priority for all patients.
 
Starting therapy early is viatally important to patients with Parkinson’s disease as this gives the best chance of maintaining function and neuroprotection.
