When you consider pursuing LSVT LOUD® or LSVT BIG® certification, you might think it’s just another training course to add to your professional toolkit. However, these certifications offer far more than just a set of treatment techniques.
By becoming LSVT certified, therapists are equipping themselves with a powerful, evidence-based treatment approach that can significantly improve patients’ quality of life. This investment in professional development translates directly to better patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Let’s explore the wealth of resources and benefits that come with becoming an LSVT® certified clinician through our comprehensive LSVT Training and Certification.
The LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG Certification Course
The LSVT certification process is thorough and designed to equip you with the skills needed to effectively treat patients with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. The course covers:
- Key treatment principles and research support
- Hands-on practice with LSVT exercises and methods
- Tailoring treatments for diverse patient needs
- Developing a lifelong care model for chronic conditions
Additionally, you have three distinct options for course formats to choose from! You can take the course entirely online, participate in a virtual live format, or attend in-person. Faculty members are available to answer questions and provide support throughout your learning journey.
Upon successful completion of the course and exam, you’ll receive your LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG certification, allowing you to provide these evidence-based treatments to your patients and unlock access to many complimentary resources.

One of the many things I appreciate about the training is that you provide everything a clinician could possibly need to provide LSVT LOUD services. You have literally handed clinicians a complete guide – with therapy materials, examples, templates of letters, videos, research data, handouts, I could go on and on. You have already done the majority of the work for us – everything except provide the actual therapy! This makes our jobs so much easier and helps us to focus on the patient and therapy. In addition, the personal support you provide is amazing. You have made it so every clinician can be successful. Thank you for the obvious extensive amount of time and effort you have put into this Online Training Course. Your love and dedication for your work and patients is obvious. – Marybeth L.
