2. Try a backpack<\/strong><\/p>\nWhilst backpack may conjure up traumatic memories of your school days, there are some really fashionable options for the over 16s! A Swedish brand called Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven has been making backpacks for over 50 years. The brand came about from a high number of children experiencing back pain.<\/p>\n
The Kanken, the brand’s most popular design helped millions of backs and is one of their best sellers. Another stylish option could be one from the French designer, Longchamp.<\/p>\n
3. Be free<\/h4>\n Try and go bag free as often as you can. Not only will it help your back it surprisingly makes you feel a lot more free and carefree. Pop your cards into a slim card wallet and leave the phone at home!<\/p>\n
4. Go shopping\u2026again<\/h4>\n Yes, that\u2019s right, another excuse to go shopping, this time you will be needing to buy new shoes. If you are a fan of the high heel you might want to consider investing in a flat shoe. Wearing high heels tilts the pelvis forward giving you a predisposition to back pain.<\/p>\n
When you add on a heavy bag pulling your body down to one side, you are asking for a lot of troubles\u2026and uncomfortable back pain.<\/p>\n
5. Switch it up<\/h4>\n If you do insist upon a shoulder bag as opposed to a trusty backpack, ensure that you frequently switch shoulders when carrying your bag to ensure you balance the weight and therefore muscle development is equal.<\/p>\n
6. Wide straps<\/h4>\n When you are out shopping for a new bag, try and go for one that had thick straps as this will distribute the weight across a wider area. By doing this, you will protect the delicate areas of the shoulder and reduce the damage of nerves in the neck and arms.<\/p>\n
