Living with Parkinson’s disease or other neurological conditions often brings unexpected challenges, such as slower, smaller movements, loss of balance, and difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing, walking, or simply rising from a chair. But there’s a powerful therapy that’s changing the game for many: LSVT BIG.
At Syracuse Area Health, we’re proud to offer LSVT BIG therapy, an evidence-based, one-on-one treatment designed to help people “think BIG” regarding movement. Whether you’re in the early or mid-stages of Parkinson’s, or even facing more advanced challenges, this therapy can dramatically improve mobility, posture, and quality of life.
What is LSVT BIG?
LSVT BIG is an intensive therapy program that helps retrain your body to move more normally and confidently. People with Parkinson’s often experience smaller, slower movements, making everyday tasks more difficult. LSVT BIG helps “recalibrate” your brain and body so that movements feel more natural, helping you walk, balance, write, dress, and even perform job-related tasks more easily.
This treatment includes:
- One-hour sessions
- Four times per week
- Over four consecutive weeks
- Daily homework and carryover exercises
This structure builds consistency and confidence while reinforcing your progress at home.
Customized to You
Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and personal goals, whether you want to walk through your home with ease, maintain balance on uneven ground, or manage fine motor tasks like buttoning a shirt.
Best of all, starting early often leads to the best results, but it’s never too late to benefit. Even individuals facing significant physical limitations have seen real, measurable improvements.
