Hope for patients who suffer from movement disorders

Mishock Physical Therapy & Associates now offers LSVT BIG, a research-based program for those patients who suffer with Parkinson’s disease, stroke, brain injury and other movement disorders.

LSVT BIG is a researchbased exercise program which has documented improved ratings on tests of motor functioning in people with Parkinson’s disease, and empowers their potential to improve! This program is available in our Barto and Stowe clinics. LSVT BIG Treatment: • Trains the patient using bigger movements which translates into real world, every day activities.

• Teaches the amount of effort to required to produce normal movements.

• Improves brain function in patients who suffer from Parkinson’s disease.

• It can also be helpful for people with other neurological conditions such as stroke and brain injury.

Vince Leskusky, a resident of Pottstown, and retired educator and coach, began the program on October 9th, and was pleased with his results.

Our director of the Stowe clinic, Ann R. Miller, DPT, has been LSVT BIG certified since October, and has been encouraged with the success of this program. She states, “It’s not easy, but committing to this program and doing exercises at home will make a difference. It’s rewarding to see the results. We will help you!”

Following Vince’s fourweek session with the LSVT BIG program in our Stowe clinic, his neurologist, Dr. Donald McCarren”of Neurologic Health Associates, PC, in Collegeville had this to say: “The patient, Vince, showed marked improvement in gait, balance and fluidity of movement.” If you, or someone you love suffers with any of these issues, please call for more information or to make an appointment.
