A wee while back I read an article about how VR could help with chronic pain if nothing else just good diversionary.
So recent birthday I asked for a VR headset, aye real techno me like.
Now I have searched for an app that is stated to help chronic pain but nothing, well unless I spend a wad of cash on a course thingmabob. I have found some good apps purely divertion like but nothing that's designed to act on pain divertion. Am I asking for too much? Help

I found a VR app called Greenpeace VR explorer. It's fairly small but lovely. You get to explore the artic, Amazon rainforest etc

Our elder son has a VR headset. Some of his apps are brilliant. All on Google play store, some free, some payable. XPoliteness costs nothing, but goes a long way in life.
Always look out for each other. Be kind.
