Is Your Handbag Giving You a Headache?

According to the experts, the answer may be a big yes. Unbeknownst to me, the fashionably inept, backpacks have lost their cool (why wasnt I informed?) and oversized handbags have become quite huge in the fashion industry no pun intended. As working women desire a fashionable handbag that can triple as a briefcase, laptop case and handbag, these key accessories are simply getting bigger and bigger thus, heavier and heavier and it is starting to take a toll on the womans back, neck, shoulder and head.
Apparently, general practitioners and physical therapists are treating an influx of women with physical pain that the professionals are relating directly to their heavy handbags. In fact, the experts are asking that manufacturers place small warning labels on the handbags, warning of the effects of overloading the bags with heavy items.
So, if you are fashionable and hauling around a huge yet stylish purse, use caution and proper posture. Your head and shoulders should be aligned and upright and you should avoid carrying a heavy handbag for an extended period of time. If you want the fashionable look of the large handbag, keep it light less than 10-15% of your body weight.
Of course, if you couldnt possibly care less about fashion (me), the most effective and comfortable way to carry a load would be in a basket on your head or in a papoose across your back. Traditionally, women have used these methods for years, giving them the ability to carry large loads and maintain good posture.
