Is your child backpack savvy?

The following is provided courtesy Clifton Hill Physiotherapy.  

We often see school kids at this time of year with pain and postural issues due to incorrect use of backpacks.  We all see a vast array of backpack use mostly hanging on one side, rather than on backs.  It seems the word back-pack has lost its true meaning! 

Although this digital era has reduced the weight of backpacks, incorrect use of a bag still puts unnecessary strain on backs and necks, resulting in pain and poor posture.
