14 Jul A new school term begins soon again.

A new school term begins soon again. Is your child’s backpack still fitting them well? Is your child complaining of back and neck pain?

Too often students are carrying around very heavy weights on their back – particularly those in high school. An overloaded or incorrectly-worn backpack can be a major source of chronic strain, and can cause shoulder, neck and back pain in children. Stress put on the spine can cause your child to lean too far forward and experience distortion of the natural curve, rolling their shoulders and causing a more rounded upper-back. Neck and shoulder  pain can also develop from wearing a bag on one shoulder, or a bag with straps that are too thin that dig into the shoulder muscles and strain the neck.

A good supportive backpack correctly worn can prevent back and neck pain. Not sure if your child’s back pack is suitable for them, ring My Favourite Physio on (02) 9790 4233 or DM us @myfavouritephysio to book a Back to School Backpack Check today.
