We are educating our local community by teaching parents and children about proper backpack safety so they may reduce possible injury from backpack poor-positioning and over-weighting backpacks, which may drastically change the side view balance of the child’s posture possibly leading to repetitive injury and pain. Our goal is to prevent children from weighting their backpacks with more than 10-15% of their body weight all while encouraging them to use both straps, and using rolling bags and lockers when at all possible.

We are doing free backpack and postural assessments for the months of August and September 2019. Please call Chait Chiropractic Center at 941-371-1070 to schedule your Child’s free backpack and postural assessment.
