XR Relief Suite

XR Therapies for Pain Management and Nervous System Regulation

At AVRwell, we know that rehabilitation is about more than physical movement. Patients dealing with pain, anxiety, or muscle tension need tools that help them regulate their nervous system and stay engaged in care.

The Relief Suite delivers three clinician-designed XR experiences built for real-world therapy sessions. These tools help patients manage pain, reduce stress, and reset their focus—before, during, or after therapy.

Developed in close collaboration with VA physical and occupational therapists, each app was shaped by clinical feedback and field-tested in VA facilities nationwide. Now, The Relief Suite is available to clinics and XR healthcare platforms.

Currently available for MDM deployment only on Quest.

Three XR Tools for Patient Comfort and Control

Breathe XR

Guided breathing for emotional and physiological regulation

Breathe XR helps patients slow their breathing, regulate their nervous system, and reduce anxiety or pain perception. Visual pacing cues and calming audio guide patients through diaphragmatic breathing exercises commonly used in therapy settings.

Use cases:

  • Stress and anxiety reduction

  • Breath training for nervous system regulation

  • Pre-therapy relaxation

  • Pain modulation through controlled breathing.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

Muscle tension release for pain and stress management

PMR guides patients through a full-body progression of muscle tensing and relaxing. Clinically validated and used in pain programs nationwide, this technique helps reduce muscle guarding, lower perceived pain levels, and promote full-body relaxation.

Use cases:

  • Pain management (acute and chronic)

  • Stress and tension release

  • Body awareness training

Preparing for physically or emotionally demanding rehab sessions

Soundscape Distraction

Sensory distraction for pain relief and emotional reset

Soundscape Distraction combines immersive visuals with layered audio environments to help patients shift focus away from discomfort. Whether during painful procedures or between therapy blocks, this tool offers patients an engaging, low-effort way to reset and refocus.

Use cases:

  • Pain distraction

  • Anxiety reduction

  • Cognitive reset between therapy sessions

  • Sensory engagement for low-endurance patients

Deployment Options

The XR Relief Suite is currently available for organizations that manage their XR devices using MDM platforms like ArborXR and ManageXR on Quest.

It’s a great fit for:

  • Outpatient PT and OT clinics

  • Inpatient rehab and hospital-based therapy programs
