Specialty Services: LSVT®-BIG

The LSVT®-BIG program is an intensive, amplitude focused occupational and physical therapy approach developed from the principles of the effective Parkinson's specific speech treatment LSVT®-LOUD.

LSVT®-BIG is a standardized treatment protocol customized to the unique goals of each patient to include both gross and fine motor skills. It's a time-intensive but simple program consisting of 16 one-hour sessions scheduled over the course of one month.

Research has documented improved ratings on tests of motor functioning in people with Parkinson's Disease following treatment including:

• Faster walking with bigger steps
• Improved balance
• Increased trunk rotation
• Improvement in activities of daily living
• Improved Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Motor Score

A physician's referral for occupational therapy and physical therapy is required prior to seeing clients, and all services include a comprehensive evaluation with patient and family education as needed. All treatment is performed by an occupational therapist or physical therapist licensed in Washington and certified in LSVT(R)-BIG.
