BIG Program

Overview

The LSVT BIG program was developed to help people with certain neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease to improve their quality of life. People that are affected by these disease processes tend to move differently with decreased pace and amplitude of movements which negatively affect balance, gait and other activities of daily living.

LSVT BIG is an intensive, one on one treatment strategy that effectively addresses these functional changes.

The program focuses on specialized and movement specific exercises during 1 hour sessions 4 days per week. The entire treatment program lasts for 4 consecutive weeks with emphasis on daily home work and carry-over exercises. LSVT BIG is an evidence based treatment approach that has resulted in improvements in the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale.
