Visual Therapy
What is Visual Training?
At MEX Physio, we offer a form of treatment that is a bit different than traditional methods – visual training. Our visual training treatment plans use virtual reality glasses to “transport” you into a different world.
Why do we do this? Well, virtual reality can help with multiple conditions, such as balance-related issues and difficulty moving certain body parts. It helps strengthen areas in need and gives you a new bearing to focus on. Additionally, virtual reality glasses help you have fun while you’re in the clinic!
We get it – no one truly wants to take time out of their busy schedules to attend their physiotherapy appointments. It is simply something that people do because they need to. Therefore, by implementing fun and interactive strategies to our treatment methods, we can help make your PT sessions a little more enjoyable!
This method of visual training can help treat a vast number of different conditions. To find out if visual training would be a beneficial part of your treatment plan, contact MEX Physio today to schedule an appointment with one of our Milton, Oakville, Burlington, ON physiotherapists!
The goal of visual training:
At MEX Physio, we try our best to increase the engagement through fun, interactive stretches and exercises. By using virtual reality for visual training, we have been able to significantly increase engagement during treatments!
Virtual reality helps turn physiotherapy and exercise into a game, rather than a chore. Think of it this way – would you rather do a couple rounds of jumping jacks or play an interactive game that leads to an accomplished goal?
In addition to these visual training sessions being more fun, they have also been proven as just as effective (if not more so) as traditional methods. You will be more excited to complete your sessions, and therefore participate with more effort. Virtual reality adds a type of physical stimulation that simply cannot be simulated in a traditional physiotherapy setting.
You will be able to actually see yourself completing actions and doing movements in a certain way. This can greatly help improve physical performance when it comes to injury rehabilitation, athletic training, or balance therapy.
The great part about virtual reality is that technology is also always improving – so as more and more advances get made in the world of technology, more and more opportunities for treatment become readily available for patients!
