this might well be the future of therapy..what with so much of fun in it and the gaming thing catching on with so many people all over… of course it is a lot better than boring therapy session that people definitely do not look forward to.

The Wii is a great device and can entice the young and old alike…it has now become almost like an indoor gym for many families. Although it may not be as beneficial as the real thing, it sure is the most ‘fun’ way to help your body physically and to exercise to keep yourself fit.

The main reasons for seniors to have all the problems that they are generally associated with is not just aging, but also other things like seclusion and reduction in social gatherings and fun-filled activites and also physical activities. Now if this kind of a thing is introduced in their daily routine, it is no surprise that improvements were observed at the end of the study.

My grandmother lived with us for years and always loved playing our video games with us. Granted they were not as advanced as the Wii system of today but my brother and I still laugh about coming home from school and finding her playing on the original nintendo and being in all of our Mario and Tetris games. This always made her day and I am sure that the seniors of today are enjoying the same kinds of things but with even more advanced activities.
