🎒 Backpack Safety for Kids: Physio Tips for Parents

Did you know your child’s backpack could be doing more harm than good if it’s not worn or packed properly?

For International Youth Day, we have some tips and tricks to help your children feel pain-free when they are back to school. Here are our top tips to keep growing backs and shoulders safe:

✅ Pack Light – The backpack should weigh no more than 10–15% of your child’s body weight.
✅ Wear Both Straps – Using only one strap can cause muscle imbalances and strain.
✅ Adjust the Straps – The backpack should sit close to the body and just below the shoulders, not sag down the back.
✅ Use All Compartments – Distribute weight evenly by placing heavier items closest to the back.
✅ Look for Padded Straps + Supportive Back Panels for comfort and posture support.

🔎 Not sure if your child's backpack is causing problems? Our physios can assess posture and provide guidance tailored to your child’s needs.
