Wii warm up

Dated: 21 December 2006
December 21st 2006: At the top of Christmas wish lists up and down the country, the Nintendo Wii is in demand. Those lucky enough to unwrap one on Christmas morning could be nursing a ‘Wii injury’ before the turkey is even cooked! The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) is advising that users undertake a ‘Wii Warm up’ before getting to grips with games.
Tim Hutchful from the British Chiropractic Association comments: “As chiropractors we are encouraged that this new technology allows users to be so active especially at this time of year when the tendency is to do very little except eat and watch TV! We want people to enjoy these games, but enjoy them safely. Gamers should treat a ‘Wii session’ like any form of exercise and warm-up adequately beforehand to prevent stiffness and possible injuries.”
The BCA has developed a ‘Wii Warm Up’ to help users retain nimble fingers but avoid over exertion. Click here for more information:
