VR Neurological Physical Therapy, Treatment & Rehabilitation
Specialist neurology treatment: Online, evidence-based, and effective
Has pain or disability taken a toll? Is a brain or nerve disorder affecting the way you live and the quality of your life? Are you sick of failed neurological physical therapy or neurorehabilitation recommendations that you just can’t do?
Neurology disorders can leave you feeling:
- tired
- sore
- wired
- stuck and/or unmotivated
- sad or depressed
- stressed or anxious
- lonely and/or isolated
- and more
Disability — either during a flare like with chronic pain, or long-term following significant injury or with chronic illness — can strike. A reduced capacity can exacerbating dysfunction and disability.
Whether for physical or psychological reasons, you might find yourself withdrawing from, or missing, relationships, social events, or work.
If this sounds familiar, know you’re not alone.
A staggering <100 million Americans are affected by one or more of the 1000 neurological disorders. The good news amongst the bad is that because of the sheer volume of suffering, research into neurorehabilitation has powered ahead. New technology has been developed that’s proven to provide results.
In short, there is hope. Evidence-based treatment is available.

How Does Neuro Rehabilitation Work?
One of the most important factors in successful neurology treatment and recovery is an evidence-based plan that harnesses the power of neuroplasticity. One that is set after a quality assessment, which then treats, re-assesses, adapts, and continues. This cycle of repetition and continual improvement takes advantage of the way the brain works to get results.
Common methods for teaching the brain to “rewire” and re-pattern itself include:
- Neurological physical therapy
- Neuro rehab VR approaches (part of the groundbreaking approach we use at XRHealth)
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Psychodynamic therapies
The chosen treatment pathway should always be based on your exact situation and needs. Personalized care matters greatly. That’s why at XRHealth we are sticklers for choosing the right path!
Telemedicine Neurology: The Cutting Edge of Effective Neurological Physical Therapy Treatment
There are a range of problems with traditional therapy for neuro rehabilitation.
- One, when you have a serious condition the commute can be a nightmare. If you can’t get to your sessions — say because you’re in a flare or too darn tired — your care and recovery will suffer.
- Two, getting from your vehicle to the office can present challenges.
- Three, many neuro conditions mean you’re more prone to infection. In a COVID-19-world, this is problematic.
- Four, questions often pop-up in-between sessions. Traditionally, reaching out to a therapist when queries arise is frowned upon.
However, technology — and the way we use it at XRHealth — has changed the game.
Telemedicine neurology combines the speciality of caring for people with neurological conditions with the technology we now have available. Our therapy team includes licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists; the exact experts needed for effective treatment completely online.
We also encourage in-app messaging between consults so you can get support anytime, anywhere.
