ABC's of fitting backpack:

A. Use of straps
Back pack have two straps use them! With both straps, you’re dividing the weight in half, equally over both shoulders. Wearing just 1 strap not only puts more weight on one shoulder, but compresses one side of your spine and can lead to injury.

B. Location of backpack
The backpack should be centered along the mid-back with the bottom of the bag being about at the middle of the low back and NOT lower than the low back. If you have the bag too high or low it will extend your low back too much and could result in pain.

C. Weight and distribution of weight in backpack
The backpack should NOT weigh more than 10-15% of your body weight. ie- If you weigh 80 lbs, your bag should weigh no more than 12 pounds

Our bodies are amazing at healing and adapting, but the healing process does take time. It can often feel like a waiting game if you're recovering from an injury. “how long will it take for my injury to heal?” is a common question our patient ask. Recovery time depends on the type of tissue damaged.
Not everybody will heal in the exact same manner; additional factors such as: blood supply, extent of damage, overall health, age, nutrition, rest, medications, pre / post-injury care, etc. plays apart in the healing process.
