See Yahoo! News Release
Physical Therapists have been using the Nintendo Wii in hospitals and rehabilitation settings with great results (following information taken from the American Physical Therapy Association: www.apta.org):
Wii Releases Fitness Product:
Nintendo Co launched a new exercise product on May
19 in the US called Wii Fit, according to an article in
the Wall
Street Journal Online. The Wii
Fit includes a
weight-and-motion sensing device called the Wii Balance
Board.
Since its launch in North
America in November
2006, the Wii has been in the news
for helping patients with rehabilitation and physical therapy. Look
for the article in the May issue of PT Magazine about PTs who have used the Wii as part of
patient care.

Acu-Yoga Survey Results!

Thank you for your feedback!

The results are in!
Most of you want a Sunday morning class...fortunately, Debbie Gilman, my private yoga teacher, teaches a fabulous class in the space already 10:30 - noon for levels 2-4. See her bio and schedule at: Innate Chiropractic.
Other popularly requested times are: Thursday evenings and Friday mornings. If I make a few schedule shifts and clear it with my landlord, Thursday evenings might be possible. I'll keep everyone posted!

I have a few pregnant friends and am offering them free classes until I have my verbiage under control. Soon, I will offer it, for a small fee, to the public. Please contact me for further information or to refer a pregnant friend! |
