Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance reminds us to check in on spine health as kids head back to class. Heavy backpacks, poor posture and long hours at a desk can all take a toll.
Tips to protect growing spines:
- Keep backpacks no heavier than 10-15% of body weight
- Use both shoulder straps
- Encourage good posture during screen time
Healthy habits start young — let’s keep those little spines strong!
