LSVT Big®

LSVT Big® is a research-based exercise approach for people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other progressive neurological disorders that impair limb function, gait, balance, and activities of daily living. Even with optimal medical management (medications/surgery) these deficits cannot be controlled satisfactorily in the vast majority of individuals with PD and have a negative impact on the quality of life. LSVT Big® differs from other forms of physical therapy in PD in its training of movement amplitude as a single treatment focus. Through high effort and intensive treatment focusing on re-educating normal movements. This results in normal amplitude during gait, movement, and activities of daily living.LSVT Big® is a restorative approach aiming to restore normal movement by recalibrating your mobility and movement through task-driven exercise.

Lymphedema Therapy: How It Helps Wounds Heal

Do you suffer from chronic swelling, venous ulcers, or slow-healing wounds?
Lymphedema therapy goes beyond wound dressings—it treats the root cause of poor healing: uncontrolled swelling.

⸻

✅ Top 10 Ways Lymphedema Therapy Promotes Healing
1. Reduces Swelling – Relieves pressure so wounds can close faster.
2. Improves Oxygen & Nutrient Flow – Fuels tissue repair.
3. Removes Waste & Toxins – Cleans the wound environment.
4. Lowers Infection Risk – Reduces bacteria in fluid-filled tissues.
5. Stimulates New Tissue Growth – Supports collagen & skin repair.
6. Prevents Skin Breakdown – Protects fragile tissue from reopening.
7. Relieves Pain & Pressure – Eases discomfort around wounds.
8. Boosts Dressing Effectiveness – Helps advanced wound products work better.
9. Restores Mobility & Function – Movement pumps blood back to the heart.
10. Stops the Cycle of Recurrence – Treats the cause, not just the wound.
