Experience the LSVT- Big Difference!
What is LSVT- Big?
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment is an evidence-based approach that was originally developed to help patients with Parkinson's disease assist with their speech issues. The approach was then further built to incorporate occupational and physical therapies, to further assist patients with their balance, gait and movement related impairments. You can find more information about LSVT- Big here.
The approach focuses on calibrating your movements, allowing you to improve the quality of movements. The result is better performance in your day-to-day activities such as dressing, moving from one surface to another, and decreasing incidence of falls and fear of falling.
Here's what to expect:
Session 1: A comprehensive evaluation, that allows us to better understand your needs. Establish goals and start you with an exercise program and a home program.
Sixteen intensive sessions (four times a week for four weeks), when our therapist will meticulously improve the amplitude (distance) and pace (speed) of movement. We will also work on your balance, posture and improve your independence with the activities of daily living.
Discharge (if appropriate), and then a 30-day, 90-day, 6 months and 1 year follow up (on the phone). Continue therapy if discharge is not appropriate.
