LSVT BIG® PARKINSON'S TREATMENT
LSVT BIG® PARKINSON'S TREATMENT
IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS
Living with Parkinson's disease can present unique challenges, but you don't have to face them by yourself. At Advanced Physical Therapy in Central Arkansas, our team truly understands what you're going through and is here to support you every step of the way. Our LSVT BIG® treatment program is all about helping you regain control over your movements and improving your quality of life. Don't let Parkinson's disease hold you back – let us help you reclaim your life.
Patient-Centered Treatment
LSVT BIG® trains people with Parkinson disease (PD) to use their body more normally. People living with PD or other neurological conditions often move differently, with gestures and actions that become smaller and slower. They may have trouble with getting around, getting dressed and with other activities of daily living. LSVT BIG® effectively trains improved movements for any activity, whether “small motor” tasks like buttoning a shirt or “large motor” tasks like getting up from sofa or chair or maintaining balance while walking. The treatment improves walking, self-care and other tasks by helping people “recalibrate” how they perceive their movements with what others actually see. It also teaches them how and when to apply extra effort to produce bigger motions – more like the movements of everyone around them.
Because LSVT BIG® treatment is customized to each person's specific needs and goals, it can help regardless of the stage or severity of your condition. That said, the treatment may be most effective in early or middle stages of your condition, when you can both improve function and potentially slow further symptom progression. Beginning your work with LSVT BIG® before you've noticed significant problems with balance, mobility or posture will often lead to the best results, but it's never too late to start. LSVT BIG® can produce significant improvements even for people facing considerable physical difficulties.
