Specialized physical and speech therapies can make a powerful difference for people living with Parkinson’s disease. LSVT BIG is an intensive physical therapy program that focuses on improving movement, strength, and balance through large, purposeful motions. LSVT LOUD is a speech therapy program designed to help individuals speak louder and more clearly. PWR! (Parkinson Wellness Recovery) builds on the principles of LSVT BIG and offers a flexible, functional approach to improving mobility and everyday activities. Speak Out! is another effective speech therapy program, helping individuals strengthen their voices and cognitive-communication skills through structured exercises. Loud Crowd is a maintenance program for graduates of Speak Out! or LSVT LOUD, offering ongoing group practice to sustain voice improvements. These evidence-based therapies are important tools for maintaining independence, communication, and quality of life.

When seeking physical or speech therapy, it’s important to work with a provider who has specialized training in Parkinson’s-specific programs like LSVT BIG, LSVT LOUD, PWR!, or Speak Out!.
