Video Games = Back Pain

by Erin on August 20th, 2007

Pull out the Robaxacet! Video games lead to violence, desensitization, obesity and…back pain.

The New Zealand Manipulative Physiotherapists Association will be addressing the issue of back and neck problems in teenagers at an upcoming conference, mentioning the influence of “passive entertainment systems such as PlayStations that encourage further inactivity and prolonged sitting posture in the adolescent age group“.

Games aren’t the only thing being put under the microscope mind you, apparently sport activities are also a contributing factor. Yet again, a tale of moderation. Too much of anything, sedentary or exercise-related, is bound to make for aches and pains.
