Physical Therapy: LSVT BIG® Therapy

Victoria Pain & Rehabilitation Logo

JLSVT BIG ® treatment is used to train people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and certain other neurological conditions to use their body more normally. This therapy can lead to improved fine or gross motor movements such as buttoning clothing or maintaining balance while walking. It can lead to improved mobility, self-care, and other day-to-day tasks by helping those who suffer from PD or other such neurological disorders “recalibrate” their movements. It is customized to help each patient’s specific needs and can help regardless of the stage or severity of they patient’s condition. Our physical therapists and PTAs are all certified in providing LSVT BIG ® treatment.

Global Postural Reeducation (GPR)

GPR is a specific physiotherapeutic approach that involves the reproduction of various common positions (including sitting, standing, laying down, etc.) and obtaining a better understanding of body mechanics. It is designed to use muscle chains to investigate the cause of the patient’s physical ailment. GPR aims to lead to long-term learning to prevent relapses, as well as integrate new movements.

GPR can lead to improvements in respiratory muscle strength, chest expansion, pain, urinary incontinence, TMJ disorders, and postural stability. It can be used in patients suffering from muscle stiffness, muscular retractions, pain related to posture, and general or chronic pain. Benefits of GPR include improvement in pain symptoms, improved flexibility and mobility, improved posture, improved body awareness, and recurrence prevention due to long-term learning.
