VR Therapy Works—and the Results Last
VR Therapy Works—and the Results Last
A recent APA article brings attention to virtual reality’s growing use in therapy. https://www.apaservices.org/practice/news/psychologists-uses-virtual-reality
What’s exciting for us at the Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC) is that this isn’t just emerging—it’s validated.
In a landmark study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (now in its 28th year), we demonstrated the power of VR therapy for fear of flying. Our 3-year follow-up showed patients retained their progress with no relapse. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/109493103322278844
That kind of long-term success is what guides our daily work at VRMC. We use immersive VR, physiological monitoring, and clinical protocols to treat phobias, anxiety and stress-related disorders—turning research into meaningful recovery.
From science to support—VR therapy is here to stay.
