LSVT Big

What is LSVT BIG & Loud®?

Another method of treatment that can help Parkinson’s patients to stay active and independent comes in the form of LSVT®.

This is a type of treatment Comber Physical Therapy & Fusion Chiropractic offers that may be unfamiliar to you. LSVT® stands for “Lee Silverman Voice Treatment” and is divided into two branches– “BIG” and “Loud.” These treatments are expanded from existing software used to help with speech. At Comber Physical Therapy and Fusion Chiropractic, we focus on “BIG.”

This treatment is based on the principle of neuroplasticity, which refers to the ability of the nervous system to change in response to signals – essentially, the brain’s capability of learning and changing.

In fact, scientific research done on the results of LSVT BIG & Loud® has reported significant progress in several categories for people struggling with Parkinson’s disease, including:

  • Improved arm and leg coordination
  • Improved balance and balance recovery
  • Increased ability to function independently
  • Increased trunk rotation
  • Faster walking, with bigger steps
  • Improvements in activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, eating, and writing
  • Vocal loudness
  • Intonation
  • Voice quality
  • Articulation
  • Facial expression
  • Swallowing

At your appointment, an evaluation will be performed to test your physical and speech abilities. Eligibility for LSVT BIG & Loud® treatments will be determined by one of our certified Williamsburg providers.
