My sciatica, which hadn't bothered me after moving from a one-story house to a three-story condo, flared up drastically when we moved to TV. I spent one summer barely able to walk, in physical therapy and later with a chiropractor, with only about 80 percent improvement. Eventually we bought a summer home that has two stories and only one bathroom, on the second floor. After going up and down the stairs the first month, all sciatica problems went away. I really think going up and down stairs keeps my back in better alignment. If we lived in TV full time, I would find a gym with a stair stepper. But there's also a turn in the staircase that makes the movement different than if it were just a stair stepper.
Conversely, my sinuses bother me in the summer home but disappear in The Villages home.
