LSVT BIG® is an intensive amplitude-based exercise program designed specifically for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. It has extensive research showing the great benefits when performed exactly as prescribed. The program includes one evaluation session, followed by 16 treatments. Treatments MUST be performed for 60 minutes, four consecutive days a week, for four weeks. It requires a lot of commitment to complete. Treatments can only be provided by a LSVT BIG ® Certified Therapist.
Dr. Samantha Peters specializes in neurodegenerative conditions and balance disorders. One of her main focuses throughout her career has been Parkinson’s Disease. Dr. Peters wrote her doctoral dissertation on patients that had completed LSVT BIG® who showed retention of improved mobility, strength, balance and endurance up to 27 months after program completion.
Dr. Sam got her LSVT BIG ® Certification and has been the sole provider of LSVT BIG ® for Rosi Physiotherapy until 2019 when her husband Dr. Brandon also became certified in LSVT BIG. This has allowed us to increase the number of patients with Parkinson's Disease that we can serve in the Coachella Valley.
Dr. Sam has written educational pieces for our blog as well a for the Parkinson’s Resource Organization Newsletters. You can find some articles she has written here.
We have found that individuals who suffer from Parkinson’s Disease often are too tired to complete a full hour session when receiving traditional physical therapy at a clinic. The time and energy it takes to get ready, drive to a facility, walk into the facility, perform the session and then make it back home is a BIG stress. In effort to conserve energy, our LSVT BIG clinicians treat directly in your home (or they can come to this clinic). This reduces the burden caregivers or arranging transportation.
Our concierge approach also allows our patients to use more energy directly on therapy and see larger gains by the end of treatment. Furthermore this allows our Doctors to see first hand what tasks may be difficult for you to perform. We can tailor design your therapy to work on the challenging tasks in the exact manor and place they are difficult.
Yes. LSVT BIG® is not only for patients with diagnosed Parkinsons Disease .
