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.

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.

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.
