Leveling Up in Real Life: How Gamified XR is Helping Us Heal
Let’s be honest: healing can be boring and frustrating.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with stress, or just trying to improve your wellness game, the path to feeling better often feels like grinding for XP in a game with no storyline, no rewards, and way too many loading screens (hello, waiting rooms).
But what if recovery could feel like playing your favorite game? What if you could level up your real life health stats while battling digital dragons, tracking turtles, or shooting targets in a virtual world?
Welcome to the world of gamified XR (Extended Reality), where physical and mental wellness gets a power-up, gamer-style.

AVRwell at APTA CSM 2025
The APTA CSM conference in Houston was a whirlwind. It happened February 13 through the 15th.

We left feeling inspired, a little exhausted, and more excited than ever about the future of XR in rehab.
