School is back in session, and a great thing for parents to do is to remind their children that when they’re wearing a backpack, number one, minimize the weight as much as possible in the backpack. And number two, is to use both straps of the backpacks so the weight is evenly distributed over both shoulders.
This is not only true for children, but for adults as well. Minimize the weight in the backpack and use both straps to help prevent strains and sprains of your neck and back. We look forward to helping you Portland. If you ever need us, check us out at MarcumChiropractic.com. See you soon!
