Crittenton Home Care Offers New Hope for those with Parkinson's Disease from Advanced Therapy

LSVT Global has developed this therapy, and Crittenton Home Care has several certified Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists offering LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG.

2012-09-23
AUBURN HILLS, MI, September 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Parkinson's disease affects an average of 1.5 million Americans each year making it difficult for patients to walk, talk and perform daily tasks. Imagine a world where loved ones with Parkinson's disease could enhance their quality of life through a new therapy program that retrains the brain and patient's body to promote movements that may have been lost due to the disease including tremors, stiffness and muscle weakness. LSVT Global has developed this therapy, and Crittenton Home Care has several certified Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists offering LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG.

LSVT BIG Physical and Occupational Therapists focus on "BIG" body movements and movement patterns where patients are encouraged to follow a specific structure of exercises created for them by their therapist. These exercises focus on expansive movements in an attempt to re-engage neuro-pathways for everyday tasks. These skills help with long-term management of their Parkinson's.
Amy Kurrle, OTR/L, LSVT-BIG, states that "therapists work to emphasize large, repetitive motions to correct posture and walking as well as improve speed and balance for improved functionality in the ADLs."

In addition, Crittenton Home Care's certified LSVT LOUD Speech Therapists focus on increasing loudness and voice quality for speaking. This increases oral and motor control to improve each patient's vocal clarity. "I've worked in Speech Therapy for more than 20 years and was so excited to see a new therapy offered for Parkinson's patients," said Leslie Shablin, Crittenton Home Care LSVT-LOUD Speech Therapist. "Therapies for Parkinson's were limited in the past and we've see amazing results with this new tool."

Medication management remains an important tool to living successfully with Parkinson's but now those affected by the disease can optimize better movement into everyday life. According to a recent survey, at the time of diagnosis patients should begin seeking lifestyle changes and seek education about conventional and alternative treatments to manage their Parkinson's. LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG have become foundational tools in improving the lives of those with Parkinson's.
