Virtual Reality Therapy Service

Virtual reality therapy is similar to mirror therapy in that you are shown an intact image of your amputated limb. Using virtual reality technology, usually a headset, you will see your limbs healthy and intact. As you immerse yourself in the virtual experience, you will be guided through a series of different exercises. A recent study demonstrated a marked reduction in the intensity of phantom limb pain. Virtual reality therapy is also being used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, which amputees may experience during their recovery.
