BackTpack
Company: BackTpack LLC
Product Description:
Finally, a solution to the painful backpack slump! With BackTpack, the schoolbook load becomes your friend! BackTpack is a revolutionary ergonomic carrying system which complements the way the body was designed to function. By loading the body through its vertical axis it trains good posture in everyday activities---standing, walking, or sitting with your spine and head tall and your shoulders relaxed, thereby reducing pain and building bone density in good skeletal alignment. These habits must start with children, since it is during the growth period that structural changes take place.
All compartments of BackTpack are accessible to the wearer while the bag is worn, standing, sitting or bicycling. The sit strap transfers the load off the shoulders and spine onto the lap when the wearer sits, i.e., unloading without removing.
Now walking or biking to school is a pain-free, uplifting experience rather than a painful drag. Parents can feel good sending their children off to school with upright energy. Children feel better, increase their fitness, and families can reduce the need to drive their children to school. If public transportation or carpooling are needed, BackTpack will speed up the process because you can keep it on to access bus fare and to sit.
As demonstrated in a study with middle school students, BackTpack eliminates most posture-related pain and trains good posture. BackTpack is endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association(www.apta.org/productendorsement).
Interesting Tidbits:
The word ‘orthopaedics’ literally means ‘straight child’. Studies have shown that chronic pain interferes with learning and brain development. Other studies show that the majority of school aged children have pain related to backpack use. Because it helps the body move correctly, BackTpack gives added freedom and reduced pain to users world wide, such as the blind, business travelers, expectant and new mothers, photographers, emergency workers, quilters, motorcyclists, bird watchers, and multi-taskers of all ages.
