What is LSVT BIG?
LSVT BIG is an intensive, one-on-one physical or occupational therapy program created specifically for people with Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders. It focuses on “amplitude” – training the body to move bigger and more powerfully instead of with the small, shuffling movements that often come with Parkinson’s.
The standard LSVT BIG protocol is:
- 4 sessions per week
- 1 hour per session
- For 4 weeks (16 sessions total)
- Daily homework and carryover exercises
Research shows that LSVT BIG can improve gait speed, stride length, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability/gait disorder in people with moderate Parkinson’s disease.
Lymphedema Services in Lewes Delaware
Your lymphedema therapist at Aquacare will tailor a program to meet your needs and goals. You will be treated using Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT).
CDT is the approach recommended by the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) gold standard for treating lymphedema and includes manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandaging, therapeutic lymphedema exercises, compression garments, and self-care activities.
Lymphedema Management – Our certified lymphedema specialists can help you manage the swelling caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema occurs when there’s an obstruction of the flow in the lymphatic vessels, resulting in swelling in multiple areas such as arms, legs, neck, head and abdominal region. It’s best to be aware of potential signs so appropriate action can begin if necessary. Early detection makes treatment more effective.
