Intensive Exercise Therapy

Texoma Medical Center offers advanced, research-based approaches to helping improve the motor functioning of patients with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. Two interventions used are the LSVT BIG program and the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program.

What is LSVT BIG?

LSVT® BIG is an intensive treatment that incorporates exercise to promote strength and motor learning. Patients work with an LSVT-certified occupational or physical therapist, learning how to avoid inactivity and improving:

  • Walking speed and size of steps
  • Balance
  • Torso rotation
  • Performance of activities of daily living
  • Confidence and quality of life

How Does LSVT Work?

A typical treatment course includes 16 sessions over a month. Each week, patients participate in four individual 60-minute sessions consecutively. Patients are given exercises to do on days when no session is scheduled, as well as daily homework practice.

LSVT BIG treatment is offered at the following locations:
