LSVT BIG & LOUD Therapy Services
People with Parkinson’s disease often have problems with physical movement and their speech that start early in the disease process.
LSVT BIG & LOUD Therapy
Virtually every person with Parkinson’s disease will have problems with physical movement and their speech that start early in the disease process. Over time, these problems can progressively diminish their quality of life if not treated properly.
Covenant Therapy Center offers the LSVT (Lee Silverman Voice Training) LOUD and LSVT BIG programs to improve movement and range of motion, improve vocal loudness and speech intelligibility, increase facial expression, and improve confidence.
More than 20 years of research funded by the National Institute of Health has documented that LSVT LOUD improved vocal loudness, improved speech intelligibility, increased facial expression and improved confidence. Now, this program is offered in Roane County with a simple referral from your physician to the Covenant Therapy Center.
