A specific form of physical therapy for Parkinson’s disease is called LSVT-BIG training. “It’s meant to help patients with Parkinson’s increase what we call ‘amplitude of movement,’” says Padilla-Davidson. In LSVT-BIG, you make over exaggerated physical movements, like high steps and arm swings. It’s a way to retrain the muscles and slow down the progression of hypokinesia, the increasingly smaller, more shuffling movements that happen with Parkinson’s. Ask your doctor or physical therapist about LSVT BIG.
