Managing chronic pain can be challenging, especially when traditional treatments have not been effective.

APM WorkCare offers a cutting-edge, VR-empowered pain recovery program aimed to enhance the wellbeing and productivity of those with chronic pain.

Our VR pain recovery program combines advanced neuroscience with the biology of recovery to create an immersive education program for people experiencing chronic pain.

Utilising technology developed in collaboration with Australia’s top pain science researchers and clinicians, this program helps participants understand the root causes of their pain and discover effective relief methods.

  2. Engaging VR sessions: Each session includes up to two VR modules, each lasting up to eight minutes, which can be completed sitting or standing.
  3. Progress reviews: During each visit, the consultant and participant review the program and how the intervention suits their specific health and recovery goals.
  4. Comprehensive assessments: Pre and post-assessments are conducted to review outcomes, progress towards goals and provide planning for the future.

Program components

Education modules

Equip participants with a deep understanding of their pain and the principles of neuroplasticity. This is combined with psychosocial risk management and education.

Movement modules

Participants utilise neuroscience techniques to enhance graded movement and loading.

Neurological modules

Retrain participants’ perceptions of pain by altering sensory inputs during movement, helping to create and consolidate pain-reducing neural pathways.

These modules are part of a clinically proven management approach that can significantly improve pain and disability outcomes, increasing the likelihood of full recovery for participants with chronic pain.

  • Individuals with persistent pain for more than 12 weeks
  • Individuals that are working less than 15 hours per week
  • Individuals with identified psychosocial risk factors
  • Individuals who are unable to undertake Activities of Daily Living tasks independently
  • Individuals who have been prescribed opioid medications
  • Individuals who have undergone repeat imaging scans, such as CT, MRI
