LSVT LOUD™ is a treatment that has been proven effective for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions for improvements in voice and swallowing function.
LSVT LOUD™ is a 16-session program that focuses on improving vocal loudness by stimulating the muscles of the voice box (larynx) and speech mechanism through a systematic hierarchy of exercises. Therapists must complete a certification course in order to provide LSVT LOUD™ treatment. In addition to stimulating the motor system, the program also incorporates sensory awareness training to help patients recognize that their voice is too soft. Patients have also reported improvement with swallowing function.
Fit-N-Wise Speech Therapy is the only provider of LSVT LOUD™ treatment in Wise County.
