Your back hurts? It may be because your bag is very heavy and you also carry it poorly.
Raise your hand who hasn’t felt back, shoulder or neck pain because of the bag! the truth that It is a very common annoyance among usbut we quietly accept it and begin to believe that we have to put up with it… Anything to look good and carry everything we need everywhere!, we think.
The truth is that we don’t have to suffer our bagswe just have to put a weight on them that does not make us try too hard, and also learn to carry them.
A bag must be used that does not exceed 5% of the person’s weight; that is, for a woman weighing 60 kilos, the bag should not exceed 3 kilos. In addition, heavier objects should be placed at the bottomadvises in derf José Santos, general secretary of the Professional College of Physiotherapists of the Community of Madrid.
In addition, the specialist explained to said medium the correct way to load bags to avoid discomfort:
on the forearm
It is not a good idea. Many women, for fashion or to imitate the stars, carry the bag on the forearm. We tell you that, according to specialists, it is the worst decision, since overloads in the tendinous intersections of the elbow can cause epicondylitis (or tennis elbow), shortening the arm muscles and generating stiffness. If you decide to use it that way despite the warnings, you should alternate the arm at least every 5 minutes and reduce the weight to a minimum so that it does not harm your health.
On the shoulder
One of the keys is in the strip size, because this should be wide or double and the weight should be balanced on each shoulder, to avoid pain. «If you always load on the same shoulder, the muscles on this side of the body end up elongating and causing complications in the neck, shoulders and arms and the person will unconsciously acquire the habit of having the shoulder elevated,» Santos explained.
Plywood (crossed)
It is the best option to avoid pain, as long as it does not exceed the recommended weight. It is important that the strap is wide and padded so that it does not cause discomfort in the shoulder and if it can be alternated, the better. It should be worn close to the body to prevent it from moving a lot.
