Vancouver Health Show and Backpack Safety.
Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 02:29PM On October 29th and 30th, we had a great experience with our booth at the Vancouver Health Show. We were pleased to have met many wonderful health-conscious people. We performed free posture checks throughout the weekend and educated many people on how their posture is a reflection of the state of their spine and musculature, and even their health. Congratulations to Katherine Tung, our raffle prize winner!
On November 1st, I visited Blessed Sacrament School to talk with the teachers about backpack safety so they can relay the information to the children in French (as it is a French Immersion school). The same information went home to the parents so all parties concerned can help these young children use their backpacks properly to prevent back pain. Interested for your own children? Click on this link for the Backpack Safety handout and contact our office if you'd like a presentation to your child's school. Dr. Chen-See's mission is to improve the health of the entire community and regularly goes to schools and other organizations to give health workshops as community service.

You can definitely do a lot of damage by wearing heavy backpacks; better to wear it over two shoulders instead of just around one.
