Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG Program
- Dolores Hope Building
- By Appointment Only
The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT®) BIG program is an intensive therapeutic exercises program for people with Parkinson's and other neurological conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and down's syndrome as well as conditions related to generalized aging. Treatments target large amplitude, whole body, big movements in order to retrain the correct patterning of normal movements. LSVT® BIG is designed to keep patients as active as possible, helping to enhance their quality of life to function as independent as possible.
The program consists of 16 one hour sessions with a therapist. Scheduled four days a week for four weeks, or specific to the patients needs, the intensity of the program as well as the ongoing home exercises both during and following completion of the program, is necessary to the regaining of function. Ideally, the program is administered prior to the onset of function loss but the principles of the LSVT® BIG program can be effective at all levels of function.
A physician's prescription with a diagnosis is required. Please call 760-773-2033 for more information.
