Healthy Back Purse

Bag Created to Reduce Strain on Back

Because toting around a bag full of stuff all day can be tiring and cause back pain, a bag that reduces the stress on your back and shoulders is essential. What may initially seem like nothing more than a back ache can eventually lead to serious back complications if nothing is done to reverse or reduce the problem.

In 1995, The Health Back Bag Company was established as collaboration between designers, doctors, leather craftsmen and chiropractors. They created the single-strap Healthy Back Bag, which was the first bag ever created to address the health issues and the stress placed on a person’s back due to the weight carried around in a purse or backpack.

“The Health Back Bags address the problems associated with conventional shoulder bags which pull from one point on the shoulder, away from the body, causing the wearer to compensate by leaning and twisting”, said Nancy Evans, director of global business development. “The fact is, the more places a bag touches your body when you wear it, the lighter it feels”.

Because the single-strap bag is in the shape of a teardrop and easily contours to a person’s back, the load inside the bag feels significantly lighter because the bag evenly distributes the weight across key touch points on the back, reducing strain on the neck, back and shoulders.

Good Enough Mommy: Healthy Back Bag

First, I want to mention that I love purses and bags. I always notice when a woman is carrying a nice bag. My favorites are big ones, often in yellow or red. I get excited when I get a new purse or wallet not just because it's fun to have something new, but I like to empty my old one and put everything into the new one. It's not just purses, either. I like all bags. When my kids were little, I was on a mission to find the perfect diaper bag. (I never found it.) I've also been looking for a really good carry on, haven't found that either. I'd be willing to spend a pretty good amount of money on a nice bag if I knew it was going to fit my needs perfectly. I'm too cheap to spend a lot on a bag in the hopes that it will work for me. As a matter of fact, I've always wanted a Louis Vuitton doctor's bag (I think they are also called speedy.) Although, I don't like the way this sounds, I covet them. I don't see myself getting one of those for a long, long time, if ever. First of all, we don't have that kind of money to spend. I can't justify spending that much money on anything right now, especially a purse. Plus, I am really hard on my purses. They get thrown in the seat next to me or sometimes smashed between bags of groceries in the back. I am usually getting several children in the vehicle and I'm only worried about my purse in that I need to make sure I have it with me. For lots of reasons, I've always carried relatively inexpensive bags. When I was planning on going with my husband (and his students) to California this winter I was looking for a bag to carry. I didn't want to carry a backpack (it would be too big for just the two of us) and I didn't want to carry a purse. I looked around the internet and came across the Healthy Back Bag. After checking it out online, I went to Dillards and looked at it in person. It seemed like what I was looking for. I got it for myself for Christmas. I ended up ordering it online from ebags because I could get a medium and small for almost the same price I could get a medium at Dillards.
