LSVT BIG Exercise Program

This whole-body therapy program helps patients with movement and sensory-motor function impairments caused by Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. Our physical and occupational therapists show patients how to use bigger movements to improve their:

Trunk rotation
Gait speed/stride length
Performance of everyday activities
Balance
Ability to get up from chairs

Through this training, patients learn how to “recalibrate” their movement to a more normal amplitude and speed. This helps patients regain confidence while walking or performing other everyday activities.

Because of social distancing, Physical Therapist, Mindy Entrup is offering her classes virtually. Check back regularly for additional exercise videos!
