I am receiving more and more press releases that are related to the 50-plus in the hope I will write about them. Sometimes they are fascinating, sometimes dull and sometimes they just capture my imagination. This one plopped into my inbox this morning.
Here is a direct quote from the release.
That’s amazing. Heavens knows if it is true but I do know that my chiropractor tells me that he is now getting a steady stream of people with aches and pains having had a workout on a Nintendo Wii. Full marks to Flexcin for thinking outside the box with this story. Dick Stroud

As we all know, when we do something too often, it can become a bad thing. But, associating video game usage to aches and pains is not common. Those with arthritis can suffer joint pain from a lot of daily activities, and if playing games is causing pain and suffering, it would be recommended to avoid using it. However, the active games, such as Wii games, may offer physical activity that is needed for strength and movement in older individuals.
