Smart Packing for Work, School, or Travel

Nice tips for students or parents/adults alike......in this video a PT shows how you can pack smartly to make the load you're carrying easier on your back. This applies to shoolbags, briefcases, or even when you travel or go hiking.

Main points to remember:
1. Pack the heaviest items closest to your body, and as high as possible in the bag.
2. Adjust the straps so that the bag isn't "sagging down" on your back. Get it up high.
3. If carrying a laptop bag or duffel bag, sling the strap across your body if possible to distribute the load more evenly (this should feel better/lighter).
