Virtual Relief Launch

Existing pain management techniques are often insufficient to ease patients’ mental and physical pain. Medical studies have shown that virtual reality pain distraction is a viable relief strategy and, in many cases, is more effective than opioids.  Virtual reality allows patients a sensory escape from pain—they can travel to exciting destinations, have underwater adventures, and even climb mountains—all through the magic of virtual reality!

The Virtual Relief Organization is the brainchild of gamers, developers, and community leaders who are passionate about technology and its transformative power. We are sponsored by The Center for Social Change, a non-profit organization that supports philanthropic and visionary efforts in South Florida.

Our goal is to be the premier nonprofit organization bringing Virtual Reality pain distraction to patients in medical facilities to help improve their mental and physical condition.

From the safety and comfort of a medical facility, qualifying patients can practice pain distraction through virtual reality, allowing for physical and mental relief. We are confident that the patients that qualify for these experiences will greatly benefit from virtual reality. Virtual reality can make someone feel better fast and we all know that a positive mental disposition is a very important factor in a patients healing process.
