Backpack season is here - and a too-heavy bag is one of the most common causes of back and shoulder pain in kids. Keep it under 10–15% of their body weight, use both straps, and pack the heaviest items closest to the back. A few smart habits now protect a growing spine all year long. Questions about your child's posture or pain? Call (315) 792-7629.
