LSVT BIG - Rehabilitation Therapy for People with Parkinson's
LSVT Big, very briefly summarized, is a training protocol that increases the amplitude (Bigness) of movement in people with Parkinson's disease. This protocol has been proven to improve balance, speed of movement and quality of life. People are able to maintain their improvements for long periods therefore demonstrating a slower progression of the disease symptoms.
It is really amazing to see how it can improve someone's function who has a degenerative disease. The principles of LSVT Big can also be applied to people with other neurological disorders and diseases and could even help with general "aging" symptoms. What is expected is a lot of repetition, participation in daily homework and functional exercise plans in order to make the exercises meaningful. In doing this, you can retrain your brain and you can walk bigger (and better).
So as you can imagine, this is a protocol that we want to provide for our clients! Anyway, stay tuned for more information on this as we finish our certification and make a plan for providing this therapy.
Parkinson’s disease is such a difficult condition, and when my husband was diagnosed, it was heartbreaking for our whole family. Watching someone you love face the challenges of Parkinson’s is never easy, and we wanted to find additional support for him.Our family doctor recommended that we look into NaturePath Clinic, so we decided to learn more about their herbal program. From the beginning, we appreciated the care, kindness, and support we received throughout the process.I’m sharing our experience because I know how difficult it can be to find support when someone you love is living with Parkinson’s. Every family’s experience is different, but we are grateful for the encouragement and support NaturePath Clinic has provided to our family. ❤️
