🎒 BACKPACK CHECK! 🎒
School is back… and so are the heavy backpacks! 📚
Did you know the way your child carries their backpack can affect how they stand, move, and feel?
At Wicked Good Chiropractic, we can use Posture to compare your child’s posture with and without their backpack—so you can actually SEE what’s happening.
✅ Keep backpack weight around 10–15% of body weight
✅ Use BOTH shoulder straps
✅ Adjust straps so the backpack sits comfortably against the back
✅ Use lockers or rolling bags when appropriate
✅ Encourage good posture and regular breaks when carrying heavy loads
The Back-to-School Backpack Challenge:
Have your child put on their backpack… then ask yourself:
“Is that backpack changing their posture?”
👀 Let us help you check!
📲 Schedule a posture screening at Wicked Good Chiropractic and start the school year with healthy habits from the start!
Because backpacks should carry the books—not the burden. 💚
