An ergonomic shoulder bag such as the Healthy Back Bag™ is the ultimate in reduction Of stress on the back, shoulders, and neck. Due to a special design, pressure is lowered through distribution of your purse contents throughout the bag, which also makes finding your essentials easier!

The origins of the healthy back bag started with founders Margery and Irwin Gaffin following a back injury. Chiropractic and medical doctors were consulted during the design process, which involved redistributing the center of gravity and allowing items to be placed in more natural balance with the body.

There is also an adjustable strap with a special non-slip surface which keeps the bag from falling off your shoulder, helping you to keep the shoulders balanced. Another feature is the ability to wear this handbag across the back for hands-free carrying comfort.

I work in a Chiropractic Office and daily see the pain women suffer from carrying a poorly designed purse that digs into the shoulder and throws the spinal alignment of the body out of adjustment. Statistically speaking, about 13.7 million people went to the doctor in 2003 for shoulder problems. Protect yourself from becoming a statistic by being aware of your posture and lifting techniques, especially if you are the mother of children. Lifting a child up without awareness of your body alignment can do damage to the shoulder, neck, or back. An ergonomically designed bag can help in the war of trying to stay pain free and healthy!
