DO NOT BREAK YOUR BACK WITH YOUR BACKPACK

As you prepare daily for school, here are some directions to avoid hurting
your back and shoulder with a heavy backpack.

1. First, you must select a proper backpack. When you are choosing it is
good to pick a backpack with multiple compartments so that weight is
didtributed well. It is also good to choose a backpack padded with straps to
be easy on your shoulders..

2. Next, when packing your things in your chosen backpack, distribute the
weight of your backpack evenly. To organize your things, put the heavier
items to the center, and then put the lighter things toward the sides.
Although all things can fit in the center compartment, use the
compartments to distribute the weight.

3. Next, pick up your backback properly. To pick it up, bend your knees,
and then grasp the pack with both hands before putting it on. Wear both
straps of the backpack everytime you carry it. It will feel lighter. It will also
promote good posture.

4. Know when your backpack is too heavy. It is too heavy if you slouch
when you carry it. Another sign if your backpack is heavy is when you feel
numbness in your shoulders and arms when you carry it.

5. Finally, always check the contents of your backpack every night.

Remove things that you do not needto bring the following day. You do not
need everything everyday. However, there are things that you do not need
everyday so keep a checklist of items that are for daily use.
