Pokemon Posture & Tech Injuries

The Pokémon Go craze sweeping across the globe is a good thing because it’s getting people outdoors and walking – but players are also at risk for developing postural issues.

Posture expert Dr. Steven Weiniger joins Fox News to discuss the phenomenon and gives tips to help players avoid injury.
