Corby Osteopaths

The clinic in Middleton can now accept debit and credit cards to make life easier.

It's Back Care Awareness week and the British Osteopathic Association is calling for parents and teachers to consider the health implications of small bodies carrying heavy school bags. Heavy bags can put pressure on the discs between the vertebrae which may cause long term back pain, headaches, tingling and numbness in the arms and legs and even mobility problems.
Osteopaths suggest that children should not carry more than about 15% of their own body weight. Parents can hel...p by making sure that the heavier items are packed nearer to the child’s back. Heavier items on the outside of the bag tend to throw the child’s centre of gravity out of balance, which increases the chances of them straining their back. When choosing a bag look for padded, adjustable straps and urge children to review the contents of their bags regularly and carry only what is necessary.
