what
virtual reality?
It is a cutting-edge technology allowing the patient to be completely immersed in a fictional world. Thanks to a virtual reality mask, the field of vision is covered with a panoramic display which allows a scenario.
Virtual reality thus allows an unprecedented level of immersion! You are no longer simply an external observer of images in front of a screen, but become an active participant inside the virtual world.
What contribution for
your physiotherapy sessions?
More pleasure
In virtual reality, your exercises are transformed into playful mini-games. Various virtual environments allow you to forget that you are at your physiotherapist and have fun while progressing in your rehabilitation. Your sessions are varied without tiring or demotivating you.
Less pain
"Sometimes it pulls, other times, it hurts or is afraid of hurting and we do not dare to go to the end of our movements" explains a patient. With fun exercises, we realize that this psychological brake can be bypassed. Absorbed in the game, you no longer think about the pain. In fact, you feel it a lot less.
Recovery
Focused on your therapeutic goals, you are at 100% throughout your session. Less tense, more relaxed and motivated, you go far in your movements which allows you an effective rehabilitation. The technique used follows your movements and helps you correct yourself.
It's proven !
Numerous studies have been carried out on virtual reality and in particular on its impact on pain.
US scientists at the Oregon Burn Center have tested virtual reality on severely burned children requiring painful daily care. The results exceeded their expectations, with an 80% decrease in pain felt.
