Parkinson’s<\/strong>\u00a0is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease that comes with a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms. LSVT-BIG therapy<\/strong> is a specialized rehabilitation treatment, that consists of 4 sessions per week for a month in which the patient performs exercises based on large movements and functional activities of daily life. It is a progressive process that manage to re-calibrate the perception of movement in the brain.<\/p>\n

This technique can improve postural control, coordination, speed, reaction time, functional independence, balance, gait, and dual task performance, reducing the risk of injuries and falls in people with Parkinson’s.<\/p>\n

Parkinson’s disease is caused by the death of vital neurons in the brain. It often begins with a barely perceptible tremor in one of the hands, and then spreads to the extremities, jaw and face. It can even cause stiffness in the trunk and limbs, affecting mobility, balance and coordination.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How does LSVT-BIG Therapy for Parkinson’s work?<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The LSVT-BIG<\/strong> therapy specializes in the use of big repetitive exercises that recalibrate movement at the brain level and optimize the use of dopamine in the body, improving the speed of movement.<\/p>\n

BIG Therapy focuses on improving all movements of daily life, and although it is preferably recommended in early stages, the therapy can be adapted to different phases of the disease. The exercise routine can be performed standing up for the early stages, sitting down for the middle stages and lying down for more advanced stages.<\/p>\n
