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.
In simple terms: LSVT BIG trains people with Parkinson’s to take bigger steps, swing their arms more, stand taller, and move with more confidence.
