LSVT-BIG for Parkinson’s and Other Movement-Related Disordersin Ocean Township and Sea Girt
LSVT-BIG is a research-based exercise program developed specifically for patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Over the past 20 years, this unique program has shown documented improvements of faster walking, larger steps, improved balance, and increased trunk rotation.
Our LSVT-BIG Parkinson’s therapy program is personalized for each patient, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. During an initial evaluation, the therapist will perform numerous standardized tests to determine the patient’s limitations. The therapist will also meet with the patient to discuss any challenges they are experiencing and make time to understand their specific goals. Exercises can then be modified based upon the patient’s level of function.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, our LSVT-BIG Parkinson’s therapy program may be able to help you achieve the following goals:
- Increase walking speed
- Make bigger steps and larger movements
- Improve rotational movements through exercise
- Increase movement speed
