Get Big & Loud
to minimize the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Aldersbridge Physical Therapy & Wellness Center specializes in the  LSVT BIG® and LSVT LOUD® programs, working with PD patients on specific exercise and speech therapy regimens to improve their quality of life.

LSVT BIG^®: Physical Therapy Program for Parkinson’s Disease
LSVT BIG trains people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to use their body more normally. Our certified LSVT BIG therapists work with patients for 16 sessions over a month. Controlled studies of the benefits of LSVT BIG training show a significant improvement in walking speed and endurance. The benefits of the LSVT Big regimen have been known to last as long as two years without repetition.

LSVT BIG treatment is customized to each person’s specific needs and goals. It can help regardless of the stage or severity of their condition.

LSVT LOUD^®: Speech Therapy Program for Parkinson’s Disease
LSVT LOUD is an effective speech treatment for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurological conditions. Our certified LSVT LOUD therapists help patients improve their ability to communicate by strengthening their voice, and improving their enunciation. Other benefits of LSVT LOUD training include improvement in eating and swallowing. While LSVT LOUD treatment has helped people in all stages of PD, the majority of research has been on those in moderate stages of the disease.
