Designer handbags, beautiful to see and carry, but rough on the shoulders.
Doctors say that to carry a bag weighing more than five pounds can cause many
medical problems. This unnecessary strain on your shoulder can cause headaches,
neck and upper back pain, even arm numbness and tingling if the nerves are being
pinched according to NYC chiropractor Dr. Randi Jaffee.
Now we all know we really, really need our designer handbags as well as those
essentials we carry in them everyday. There are some steps we can take to help
reduce the load on our shoulders. First, when you choose a luxury bag, watch
for the heavier bling added to the bag, i.e. heavy buckles and grommets, to
belts and more. Another suggestion is to carry an extra little bag then when
needed for an extended time put only the items required and wear it on both
shoulders. Wearing the strap across your heart to distribute the weight makes
long straps better than short ones. Today, designers are adding backpacks to
their lines, thus taking the strain off a single shoulder and distributing the
weight on both shoulders. Although backpacks were primarily used for school books,
now designers are making them more fashionable to carry everyday. Also, rather than
the carry-all bag that has to be carried over the shoulder by a strap or handle,
designer's rolly bags save your back totally when rolled instead of
carried.
So,when shopping for your designer handbags, be nice to you shoulders and
think about how you plan to use your bag. It matters!
