LSVT BIG® is an intensive research based physical treatment protocol designed for people living with Parkinson’s disease but may also benefit other associated movement based disorders. It is based on amplitude training and high effort exercise to assist with sensory re-calibration. Sensory Re-calibration is the process of teaching individuals to accept what feels “too big” as actual normal movement.
Research suggests early exercise based intervention is best. Don’t wait until you experience falls, loss of functional mobility, and balance problems. This program teaches individuals with Parkinson’s disease how to avoid inactivity and improve their quality of life.
