It’s back to school time! Here are some Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind when picking out a backpack for your child.

- DO Find a backpack that’s made with lightweight, durable, and water-resistant material. Remember, a wet bag will add more weight and strain to your child’s back.
- DO Look for a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps as well as padding along the back. This added layer of support helps avoid discomfort.
- DO Find a backpack that has multiple compartments throughout the bag to help evenly distribute weight.
- DO Take the time to get rid of any unnecessary items that accumulate to reduce the weight of your child’s backpack.

- DON’T Carry too much at one time. Encourage your child to take time to carefully pack their backpacks with only the items they need.
- DON’T Use only one strap when carrying a backpack. Instead, encourage your child to use both straps because shifting the weight of the backpack to one side of the body can add undue stress to their back.
- DON’T Wear the backpack as is. Take the time to adjust and tighten the shoulder straps so that the backpack is snug to your child’s back.

Did you know that getting PT first for low back pain can save you money?

In a study published in Health Services Research, ("Physical Therapy or Advanced Imaging as First Management Strategy Following a New Consultation for Low Back Pain in Primary Care: Associations with Future Health Care Utilization and Charges" – March 16, 2015), researchers found that people who were first prescribed advanced imaging, such as MRIs, over physical therapy for management of low back pain ultimately paid more. They also were more likely to have surgery or injections or visit an emergency room, compared with those who were first sent to physical therapists.

In the year after their initial complaint to primary providers, the sample of people in the study who went to physical therapy directly spent an average of $1,871, compared with $6,664 for those who were first sent for an MRI.
