My husband did both, at different times. The physical therapist was great. The voice therapist wasn't as good. They are very intensive, 4 days a week, for four weeks, plus practice at home. Unfortunately, he hasn't kept up the practice so has lost a lot of the benefit. They do help.

One member shared their experience with LSVT for swallowing issues: “I finally found a great speech therapist in my area who is well-trained in LSVT. I’ve worked with her for two years. She has me 80 percent to 90 percent better. It works, but it does take discipline doing daily exercises and not giving up!”
