ATOMIC NEURO

Parkinson’s Disease / LSVT Big

Parkinson’s disease can make movements smaller, slower, and harder to control, but targeted physical therapy can help you move with more confidence and ease. At Atomic Physical Therapy, we offer Parkinson’s-specific rehabilitation, including the evidence-based LSVT BIG® program, to improve strength, balance, and mobility.

Parkinson’s disease affects the nervous system, leading to changes in movement, balance, and coordination. Over time, daily activities like walking, getting dressed, or maintaining posture can feel more challenging. At Atomic, we specialize in Parkinson’s rehabilitation using proven techniques to improve mobility and reduce symptom impact. Via one-on-one care from Dr. Kathryn Bugasch, a certified neurological PT, we’re proud to offer LSVT BIG®, a research-backed program designed to help people with Parkinson’s use bigger, more purposeful movements in everyday life. This approach not only enhances physical function but can also improve confidence, safety, and independence.

How Physical Therapy Helps with Parkinson’s Disease

Physical therapy for Parkinson’s focuses on addressing bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, balance changes, and posture. Through amplitude-based training like LSVT BIG®, along with strength, coordination, and flexibility exercises, we help retrain your body and brain to move more efficiently and confidently.
