One year ago, Sean Bulanda was taking roughly 300 steps a day — mostly between the couch and the bathroom. Today, he’s a stand-up comedian, a songwriter, a certified LSVT Big physical therapist, and the founder of a 2,200-member Parkinson’s support group. This is the story of what happened in between.

When LSVT BIG first emerged as a rehabilitation protocol for Parkinson’s disease, its core insight was deceptively simple: train the nervous system to move bigger, and daily function follows. The intensive, amplitude-focused program, sixteen one-hour sessions over four weeks, works by retraining sensory perception alongside motor output, helping patients recognize that movements which feel exaggerated are, in fact, simply normal. That principle, it turns out, may travel well beyond Parkinson’s disease.

What does it take to go from hiding a diagnosis in silence — popping pills in secret, withdrawing from the world — to becoming one of Ireland’s most visible advocates for Parkinson’s awareness? For Gary Bole, it started with a simple, persistent nudge from the person sitting beside him: “Speak up.”

If you are a physical (PT) or occupational therapist (OT) working with older adults or neuro populations, you are most likely familiar with LSVT BIG® treatment approach, which is built on a very specific treatment dose: 60‑minute, individual sessions, 4 days per week for 4 weeks, for a total of 16 visits. This “dose” is not a preference or arbitrary in nature; it is the parameter used in the research on LSVT BIG that results in clinically significant improvements in amplitude, gait, and functional mobility in people with Parkinson’s.

Join us for an engaging, evidence-informed webinar exploring the latest research on LSVT LOUD® and LSVT BIG® - two intensive, science-based therapy approaches designed to improve communication and movement for adults with Parkinson’s disease and for children and adults with other neurological conditions. This session brings together findings from recent studies and translates them into clear, practical insights for individuals with neurological conditions, parents and care partners, students, clinicians, and anyone interested in neurological rehabilitation. Topics include how these therapies support louder, clearer speech; bigger, more confident movement; greater ease in daily activities; and improved quality of life across the lifespan. Attendees will gain an understanding of how LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG

If you’re an ortho or sports physical therapist (PT), Parkinson’s disease (PD) may seem like a “neuro” issue—important, but not your primary focus. Yet many patients you treat for rotator cuff tears, arthritis, lumbar pain, and sports injuries either already have PD or will develop it during your career. You may be one of the first professionals who can spot early signs and change their long-term trajectory.
