LSVT® is a clinically proven treatment for Parkinson’s disease at every stage of diagnosis. There are 2 branches of intervention LSVT Big® (lead by occupational therapists and physical therapists) and LSVT Loud® (speech therapists).

Clinical studies have shown LSVT® to have a positive impact for other disorders including stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.

LSVT Big® Treatment

To gain optimal results the treatment protocol requires intense collaborative work between client and therapist. It is composed of 16 sessions, 4 days a week for 4 weeks.

• The protocol is vigorous a 60-minute 16 sessions 4 days a week for 4 weeks.
  There is an option of in-person, virtual or mixed.
  Each session comprises of LSVT BIG specific exercises, review of prior daily homework, carryover tasks, video of the certain movements and set up for the following day.
  In order to fully benefit from the protocol, the remaining 3 days you will continue to independently perform the LSVT BIG exercises along with daily homework.
  Every session we meet the session is adjusted to your needs and improving abilities.

  It is important to have your information sent a few days prior to evaluation in order to maximize your time with your therapist.
  During the 90 minute in-person evaluation you will be taken through a number of assessments including movement analysis, gait, fine and gross motor, ability to perform daily activities.The evaluation along with the profile package gauge your strengths, challenges and goals.
  A key part of the evaluation is a Video Interview.
  A symptom of Parkinson's Disease is a discord in sensory calibration where the brain perceives decreased movement as normal.
  Think of seeing a room as brightly lit when in reality, it is dimly lit.
  Using video footage throughout the treatment sessions helps re-calibrate movement (turn up the dimmer in your own body) and supports the neuroplasticity of the brain so that your may move through life with normal movement.
  All video footage is stored on a secured device only able to be viewed by therapist and client.
  The initial evaluation is key to creating a tailor-made treatment plan that best supports your goals and needs for a healthier and fuller life.
