Top tip – choosing the right bag to relieve neck and shoulder pain

A pre warning – knowledge without application is just plain stupid. So actually do the work to see the results.

Living in a digital age makes it that much harder to choose fashion over function. Why not both? As carrying that heavy bag is only going to cause your muscles and joints to become overactive and stiff. Your walking is going to be thrown off as well by interfering with your arms being able to swing. So instead try these quick fire hacks to bring your body and shoulders back into to balance.

First try carry a cross body bag and mix it up a bit, don’t just wear it on one side.

Second seems obvious but reduce the load, for months I personally was wearing a backpack with way to much riding my
bike and it was only when i brought one that connected to my bike did I realise how much tension was building up that
causes neck and shoulder pain. Consider doing a daily inventory of your bag and purse to see what you actually need.

Third Switch up, don’t leave one shoulder out. It might just hate you for it for reasons such as muscle memory and tension building on the side you carry your bag on. This is a great way to decrease the strain, pain and imbalance.

Four Try a backpack on you can there are plenty for the fashion conscious among you. This will allow your body a normal gait pattern.

Finally try using a dynamic purse or bag such as a clutch. This will rest those overactive muscles and relax that stiffness. Don’t ask me how I know this stuff about handbags.
