We teach you valuable techniques to slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease and deliver it to you in your home!
Did you know you can slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease with the right dosage of exercise and activity?
You may know (better than anyone) that people living with Parkinson's Disease demonstrate difficulty with movement. Parkinson's Disease movement can become smaller, and people may demonstrate difficulty with activities across the spectrum, from handwriting to swinging a golf club. The techniques with LSVT BIG aim to teach you to use BIG effort to produce more effective movement.
