Are you or a loved one living with Parkinson’s disease and experiencing changes in mobility, balance, or day-to-day function? At our Oakville clinic, we proudly offer LSVT BIG — a specialized, research-backed physiotherapy program designed to help individuals with Parkinson’s move better, feel stronger, and live more independently.
Hear From Our Happy Clients
LSVT BIG (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment – BIG) is an intensive, one-on-one physiotherapy program proven to help individuals with Parkinson’s Disease improve:
- Walking speed and stride length
- Balance and upright posture
- Arm and leg movement
- Functional tasks like dressing, writing, and getting out of a chair
Backed by decades of clinical research, LSVT BIG retrains your brain and body to use larger, more purposeful movements, helping to counteract the slow, small motions caused by Parkinson’s.
What Is LSVT BIG?
What Symptoms Can BeActive Physio Help With?
What to Expect in the Program?
16 sessions over 4 weeks (4 times per week)
Daily home exercises to reinforce learning
Functional goal setting personalized to your lifestyle
Education and strategies to maintain your progress long-term
The program is designed to make BIG movements feel natural, helping you walk with ease, move confidently, and live life more fully.
Who is LSTV BIG Treatment For?
Step 1: Parkinson’s Disease (at any stage)
Step 2: Atypical Parkinsonism
Step 3: Other neurological conditions that affect movement
Early intervention is key. Those in the early stages or newly diagnosed can benefit greatly by starting LSVT BIG early — helping to maintain and improve function before symptoms progress.
Real Results Backed by Research
Studies show LSVT BIG can lead to:
- Faster walking with longer steps
- Improved balance and reduced fall risk
- Increased ability to perform everyday tasks
- Enhanced confidence and independence
What Are The Benefits of LSTV BIG Treatment?
Using customized, full-body exercises based on the principle of “Think BIG!”, LSVT BIG teaches your body how normal movement should feel again. At first, these larger movements may feel exaggerated — but they are actually closer to normal, healthy movement patterns. With practice, they begin to feel natural.
Clinically Proven Benefits:
Faster walking with longer strides and fuller arm swings
Better balance and core rotation (twisting at the waist)
Improved fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or handwriting
Greater ease with large movements like getting out of bed or dressing
Because Parkinson’s affects body awareness, the program emphasizes high repetition, home practice, and real-world functional assignments. This helps you consistently use BIG movements in everyday life — increasing confidence, comfort, and control.
In just one month of focused therapy, LSVT BIG can unlock noticeable, life-changing improvements in function and independence.

Parkinson’s Treatment Physiotherapy Oakville FAQs
How Is LSVT BIG Different From Regular Physiotherapy?
The program also emphasizes neuroplasticity, meaning it helps the brain form new pathways to support better movement. LSVT BIG isn’t just exercise—it’s a therapeutic approach proven to reshape how patients perceive and control movement in real-world situations.
When Should Someone With Parkinson's Start LSVT BIG?
Even if someone is not experiencing major mobility issues yet, the program can serve as a proactive measure—improving awareness, coordination, and daily functioning. Think of it as “prehabilitation,” where patients invest in their future mobility, independence, and quality of life by starting early and staying consistent.
