Backpacks and Back Pain in Children
Carrying a heavy backpack to school
may be damaging to your child's back if they are carrying more than 15% of their
body weight in their backpack, especially if they have to walk to school or they are
carrying their backpack on one shoulder.
The Back and Backpacks
A typical backpack gives you the ability carry a lot more items than you can in your
arms alone.
Back, neck or shoulder pain is caused by strain. This strain is caused
by improper load distribution.
The Answer: MOCHI-PAK (
moochee-pack )
This is a new patented design in a backpack that will virtually eliminate back
strain and the pain associated with backpack use.
This design is based of a simple saddlebag principal which distributes the load evenly
to front and back.
