Partnering for Parkinson’s Care: How Exercise Professionals Can Support LSVT BIG® and Home Exercise
Parkinson's disease causes every movement to become smaller and slower, chipping away at confidence and independence over time, but there is hope. LSVT BIG® is a scientifically researched, intensive, amplitude-focused protocol delivered by Physical and Occupational Therapists. LSVT BIG helps clients move BIGGER and live better, but the best outcomes happen when clinical care and community-based support work hand in hand. In this webinar, personal trainers and exercise professionals will learn LSVT BIG fundamentals, how hypokinesia shows up in everyday movement, and practical ways to reinforce BIG principles in their sessions, while discovering how to partner with LSVT BIG Certified therapists during and between episodes of care. Join us to learn how you can be part of the model of care the growing Parkinson's population needs!
