Discover comprehensive Parkinson’s care at CustomFit Concierge PT in Chicago. Personalized treatments for symptom management and improved quality of life.
At CustomFit, We specialize in providing therapy for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurologic condition characterized by various symptoms such as stiffness, reduced facial expressions, soft voice, walking difficulties, and postural changes.
People with Parkinson’s disease face a variety of challenges that can impact their daily lives physically, emotionally, and socially. Some of the key challenges include motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. These motor symptoms can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as walking, dressing, and eating.
Additionally, some people with Parkinson’s disease may experience cognitive changes, including difficulties with memory, attention, and executive function. Cognitive impairment can impact decision-making, problem-solving, and overall cognitive abilities. Living with Parkinson’s disease can take a toll on mental health, leading to feelings of frustration, anxiety, depression, and social isolation.

To address these challenges, CustomFit offers a treatment program known as LSVT (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment), which targets five primary limitations commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This program aims to enhance vocal loudness, facial expressions, walking abilities, balance, and overall flexibility.
While there is no cure for Parkinson’s, LSVT therapy can help mitigate the progression of symptoms and improve the patient’s functional mobility over time.
Several therapists at CustomFit are certified in LSVT BIG, a specialized program tailored for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and older adults at risk of falls due to balance issues.
Developed by a team of researchers, LSVT BIG equips physical therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to prescribe exercises and other treatment interventions specifically designed to address the unique needs of Parkinson’s patients. By implementing these tailored interventions, CustomFit aims to support individuals in managing their condition effectively, promoting longevity, and maintaining functional independence despite the challenges posed by Parkinson’s disease.
