CARRYING BAGS

CARRYING BAGS CORRECTLY

• Shopping is always a great fun but it can turn to a painful moment with improper lifting and carrying.

Important points to avoid back pain:

• When you pack your things try to distribute the items among several bags and balance the weight, then spread the weight so that you carry equal weight in each hand.

• For the one carrying a single heavier item, such as a laptop or file, a side bag that can be worn across your body, or a backpack is a good choice.
• Select a bag with a wide strap and keep the weight close to the body.
• Keep swapping the bag from one shoulder to the other occasionally.
• Use a table as a halfway point while putting the bag on and taking them off to avoid strain.
