VR Physio
First of its kind!
Versa Rehab is redefining modern physiotherapy. We are the first physiotherapy practice in Canada to provide virtual reality (VR) services. Patients can experience immersive 3D environments specifically designed to treat many neurological, joint, and chronic conditions. Turn rehab sessions into enjoyable activities through gamification and interactive experiences!
During your 1-on-1 physiotherapy appointment, a VR head-mounted display is worn over your eyes to display an immersive 3D environment. Patients can play customized therapeutic games in VR to help recover from injury and chronic conditions.
