Unique clinic at East Kilbride
Published: 18 February, 2008
Unfit gamers in East Kilbride are taking advantage of a unique new temporary service at Scotland's largest undercover shopping centre. Following reports of pulled muscles and aching joints as a result of playing Nintendo's hugely popular interactive Wii console, East Kilbride shopping centre has teamed up with a leading EK masseuse to launch the country's first Wii clinic.
The must-have Christmas present has proved to be a blessing and curse in households across the country, as unfit parents have been racking up a series of gaming-related injuries.
Centre director Chris Grundy said: "Following my own experiences and reports that other gamers were falling victim to a range of virtual sports injuries, we decided to launch the Wii clinic at EK. We have had a few gamers through the doors, although it has to be said that those complaining about aching joints do tend to fall into - how can I put it - the more mature category of shopper."
