A healthy back bag is very important if you want to avoid long term back and shoulder troubles!

Of all the burdens that urban students and professionals must shoulder, their backpacks are probably the heaviest. Crammed with everything from folders, cell phones, pdas, files and laptops, overloaded back bags can cause stiff necks, sore shoulders and aching backs. The extra stress placed on the spine and shoulder from the heavy loads can cause medical problems in regular users. If left untreated these problems can aggravate into serious issues. It is very important to invest in a healthy back bag if you carry your stuff around often. A healthy back bag can save you a lot of pain and anguish in the years to come.

Always spend sometime to find the right backpack for your height and weight. Make sure it has a waste belt because this can serve to take the wait off you shoulders and distribute it to your legs. Thus taking the strain off your back. Your backpack is a healthy back bag if you are comfortable with it on your back and can walk with your shoulders straight without feeling pressure on the neck.

Backpacks typically strain back and shoulder muscles when the load is more than 20 percent of body weight. Carry a light weight healthy back bag with strong and cushioned shoulder straps helps too. Though it may be cool to sling it over one shoulder and carry it low, this causes stress on back and shoulder muscles because the weight of the pack is all on one side. Use both straps on a backpack so that your backpack sits high on your back with both straps snug but not tight.
