Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LVST BIG) is an evidence-based approach to improving movement and mobility in individuals with Parkinson’s.

At Willow Grove, LSVT Big-certified therapists help patients enhance limb and body movements, strengthen postural control to reduce fall risk, and perform daily activities safely and efficiently. This comprehensive approach involves:

  1. Intensive Exercise Sessions: Patients undergo high-intensity exercises designed to improve the size and speed of their movements. Sessions are conducted multiple times every week for four weeks, ensuring consistent and effective practice. This frequent and focused approach helps patients internalize the larger movement patterns and integrate them into their daily lives.
  2. Personalized Training: Each exercise program is tailored to individual needs and abilities, ensuring optimal results. Our therapists assess each patient’s movement challenges and adapt the exercises to maximize effectiveness, providing a personalized pathway to improved mobility.
  3. Functional Tasks: Exercises are integrated into daily activities, such as walking, dressing, and eating, to make improvements applicable to real-life scenarios. By practicing these functional tasks, patients learn to apply their enhanced movements in meaningful and practical ways, improving their ability to handle everyday tasks.
  4. Home Exercises: Patients receive a set of exercises to practice at home, reinforcing the skills learned during therapy sessions and fostering long-term benefits and sustained mobility.

By focusing on these elements, LSVT Big at Willow Grove Physical Therapy helps individuals with Parkinson’s achieve better mobility, enhanced balance, and greater independence in their daily lives.
