Intermediate Parkinson's Mobility
A 25-minute mobility and balance session focused on posture, gait mechanics, and large-amplitude movement.
Warm-Up
Prepare joints and posture with controlled, comfortable mobility. Focus on posture and range of motion.
Circuit A
Use a chair for light support; emphasize tall posture and big, confident movement. Focus on big steps and strength.
Circuit B
Stay near a wall/chair. If balance feels shaky, keep one hand on support. Balance and upper body work.
Cool-Down
Lower intensity and stretch key areas for gait and posture. Gentle stretching—no bouncing. Breathe slowly.
LSVT BIG Logic Behind Each Move
March in Place and Step Touch train the intentional exaggeration of movement amplitude—directly countering Parkinson's hallmark hypokinesia. Sit to Stand and Standing Hip Abduction load the hip extensors and abductors that govern gait initiation, while Heel-to-Toe Walk challenges the cerebellar pathways responsible for stride sequencing.
What Parkinson's Actually Demands
Dopamine depletion disrupts the basal ganglia's ability to automate movement, making conscious motor recruitment exhausting. Rigidity shortens the thoracic spine and hip flexors—exactly why Wall Thoracic Extension and Calf Stretch at Wall appear here—while postural instability shifts the center of mass forward, compressing fall risk into every single step.
Amplitude First, Then Automaticity
This session follows a specificity-to-transfer model: large-amplitude drills practiced consciously at moderate intensity gradually reduce the cognitive load of everyday movement over weeks. Single-Leg Stand (Supported) is your adaptation lever—reduce wall contact by one fingertip each session as stability improves to progressively challenge proprioceptive recalibration without sacrificing safety.
