Empowering Movement and Voice
For individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, early and specialized therapy can significantly enhance quality of life. LSVT LOUD™ and LSVT BIG™ are evidence-based treatment programs designed to improve communication and movement. LSVT LOUD helps patients speak more clearly and confidently by increasing vocal loudness and clarity, while LSVT BIG focuses on amplifying physical movements to improve balance, walking, and daily function. Together, these therapies empower patients to regain control, stay active, and engage more fully in everyday life—with lasting results.
OUR PROMISE
Our clinical team will care for you with a variety of treatments that work toward meeting your individual needs and with a goal of improving your quality of life.
Therapy Details
Focus on Speech Therapy
89% of people with Parkinson's disease will have problems with speech that begin early in the disease and worsen as it progresses. The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) LOUD™ is a standardized treatment program backed by 20 years of research that can help people with Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions develop stronger speech and communication patterns.
LSVT LOUD treatment helps improve:
- Vocal loudness
- Speech intelligibility
- Facial expressions
- Interpersonal confidence
Early intervention through speech therapy is the most effective way to treat progressive decline that can, over time, diminish your quality of life. LSVT LOUD and St. Luke's speech therapists will help you establish a lifelong habit of effective communication, improving your quality of life if you're living with Parkinson's.
