Preventing Back Pain In Children
Back pain in secondary school-age children has been linked to heavy schoolbags and ill-fitting classroom seating. Nearly half of all teenagers in the UK have had occasional backache from poor posture, carrying overloaded bags, and leading an unhealthy lifestyle.
The best schoolbag for your child is a well-designed backpack.
This should be worn over both shoulders to balance out the weight. A heavy satchel or shoulder bag can put stress on your child's spine.
Encourage your child to exercise regularly or plan joint activities, such as a walk in the countryside or a trip to a swimming pool.
Back pain is a very common condition, affecting about 80% of people at some point in their lives. A physiotherapist demonstrates some simple back stretches to help prevent aches and pains.
