Abstract
Investigating virtual reality (VR)-enhanced meditative movement reveals a promising strategy for improving mental and physical health. Virtual reality technology offers immersive, individualized experiences that effectively reduce tension, manage anxiety, and control pain, making it a valuable addition to conventional therapies. Research also demonstrates its efficacy in boosting motivation, maintaining an exercise regimen, and reducing stress. VR is an essential tool for treating mental health conditions such as anxiety and PTSD in clinical settings, with the potential to serve diverse populations. The significance of VR-enhanced mindful movement for overall well-being rests in its holistic approach, personalized experiences, and potential to revolutionize how individuals approach mental and physical health. With the ultimate goal of integrating VR into healthcare practices to enhance lives, a call to action includes additional research, ethical guidelines, accessibility efforts, and keeping abreast of emerging developments.
