Physiotherapy is widely used in successfully treating people with Parkinson ’s disease. One therapy which is showing great results is an exercise program called LSVT BIG. It focuses on intensive exercising of high amplitude movements. LSVT BIG is delivered in 16 (4x/week for 4 weeks) individual therapy sessions.
LSVT BIG is specifically designed for people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. It targets hypokinesia (reduced movement) and bradykinesia (slow movement). The LSVT Programs adheres to principles of neuroplastisity and has been scientifically researched over the past 20 years. It empowers individuals to use their bigger movements anywhere, anytime in daily living.
The many benefits to be gained from LSVT BIG are:
• Improved posture
• Improve mobility
• Increased muscular strength and flexibility
• Faster walking with bigger steps
• Increased co-ordination and muscular control
• Improved balance
• Increased trunk rotation
