Ergonomic Shoulder Bags

Discover the Healthy Back Bag

MANILA, Philippines -- Anybody who knows me personally would attest to the fact that I am not a ladies' bag type of person.  I prefer big, bulky back packs.  Never mind if it sometimes look ridiculous with my outfit of the day.  I seek comfort and functionality over 'it-looks-nice'. I don't want to end up like those people who I often hear complaining of aching backs and shoulders due to carrying stuff over one shoulder.  Now that is a valid concern, wouldn't you agree?  Dr. Jojo Gaddi, general orthopaedics, Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine specialist from St. Luke's Medical Center seems to.

Watch your back!

"In literature, it says that as much as 80 percent of people will have back problems or low back pains during their lifetime. This is usually secondary to improper lifting techniques or overuse meaning you're always lifting heavy things or if your work entails you'd sit in desks for long periods of time bringing greater stress to your lower back. Improper posture can also stress certain muscles in our backs and would trigger spasms. For the elderly a fall would be one of the reasons," says Dr. Gaddi.

To avoid back injuries, Dr. Gaddi recommends several options.  "First is always to maintain proper posture - do not slouch.  By holding your body upright and straight, it works your muscles around your abdomen, it works your core protecting your back."

Dr. Gaddi also emphasizes lifting with your legs.  "When you try to pick things up, don't just stoop down as it may cause additional stress on your back. Better to bend your legs and keep the object close to your body and stand up with both feet."

Other suggestions are to sit and sleep with care, control your own weight through proper diet and exercise, and most importantly, control the weight you carry.

A new bag in town

In connection with Dr. Gaddi's lecture, Primer Group of Companies unveils its latest offering - the Healthy Back Bag (HBB), a unique UK bag brand that seamlessly combines innovation, ergonomics, and fashionable styling. It address the problems associated with conventional shoulder bags which pull from one point on the shoulder, away from the body, causing the wearer to compensate by leaning and twisting.

Present during the launch was HBB's Global Director of Business Development Nancy Evans. "The fact is, the more places a bag touches your body when you wear it, the lighter it feels. The Healthy Back Bag's unique teardrop shape distributes the weight you are carrying evenly along the length of the bag, rather than pulling down from the shoulder. There are no rigid bits in or around the bag so it moulds to your shape. This, combined with a non-slip strap, ensures that the bag both contours to your back and stays on your shoulder however you wear it," Evans tells.

Find out why Jansport Wasabi Daypack model is the ideal backpack ...

Daypacks Jansport backpacks are the best in my opinion. I used them when I went to school and use them out today for my items everyday. The friends can not believe it when I tell them my backpack commute from my student days. I like my things to carry in a backpack every day when I commute. I bring my lunch and read a book on the subway when commuting to work. My children have told me to come with time and buy an Amazon Kindle but I prefer the feel of aSoft-cover. I could not stop and buy one quick, but turn a button on a side not it funny how the feeling of paper between his fingers. This is something that I can not do with a Nook readers.

Toddler Backpacks

When I click on a weekend trip I'm packing my trusty Jansport backpack to go with me. It fits either under my seat or in the overhead compartment on a plane or train, or do I just throw it in the back seat of my car. Jansport has many different models of backpacks and daypacks are sometimes hard to decide whichto buy one. I have not yet, but I think my next purchase will be wheeled backpack. I have the bags in different colors, so my friends do not think I'm boring.

I've been using Jansport Wasabi backpack anymore. It 's my preferred method of packaging. The backpack is very roomy and fits my shoulders very well. I bought a black wasabi. My friend has encouraged the viola. Because we have each a different color, it's so easy to distinguish between them. I have an agreement with Amazon and wonderfulI bought a backpack for each of us. The Amazon reviews were important for my decision, the Core Series Wasabi and I decided to buy one for my girlfriend and me to buy.

The tapes are designed for comfort and ergonomic shoulder straps will have the S-curve. After you do all day, I can say that the straps are very comfortable and the right amount of padding.The ergonomic straps are easy to adjust. I do not like shoulder bags, because they are only a band that hasbear the weight that I carry on one shoulder. Another advantage is that the Core series Wasabi has a strap that makes it easy to learn the package without bending too much.

The Wasabi has a nice front stash pocket, where I usually keep my smaller items I need to change too quickly to get as an extra. The zippered main compartment is very spacious and I think I have a laptop with commuters as well as books and other items. The Wasabi is a side mesh water bottle pocketelastic, so I can always water with me in the summer. I always like water to me when I commute or trip, and I think it's perfect for me. There are a lot less money for water, having to endure then pay top dollar to local shops.
