Neck Pillow Store Back Supports Ergonomic Backpacks

Ergonomic Backpacks clinically proven to reduce backpack stress

Our ergonomic backpacks use air technology to reduce stress on back up to 80% and lighten effective load up to 50%.

Physicians recommend that students carry no more than 15% of their body weight on their shoulders and backs, yet studies show younger students are lugging as much as 40% each day. This can pose a threat to postural integrity leading to related pain syndromes and problems which may influence the growth, development and maintenance of alignment of the body.

Our unique ergonomic backpacks use a system to help you tote loads more comfortably and safely. This is accomplished with a patented ergonomic transfer system that redistributes weight from the shoulders to the hips and lower back, promoting an upright standing posture. Proper posture reduces muscle strain in the upper body that can cause head and neck aches, muscle spasms, and tingling in the hands from incorrectly carrying too much weight. A properly fitted ergonomic backpack enhances the body’s natural ability to carry weight, increasing comfort and safety.

Standard ergonomic backpacks design features include: patented lumbar air cushion and wider, foam cushioned shoulder straps, adjustable both top and bottom with unique slide strapping that automatically adjust side-to-side to help maintain correct ergonomic support.

All backpacks include: padded haul handle, a large interior compartment for heavier books and other necessities, a large front pocket with organizer for notebooks, pens and pencils (even a handy key keeper, CD player pocket and headphone port), a front zipper pocket, two side mesh bottle pockets and a new detachable cell phone/mp3 holder.

Made of durable Poly Oxford 600-denier material. Our backpacks are available in a variety of popular colors. Mini air pump included.

Developed with orthopedic professionals, our egonomic backpacks have been tested by Boston University’s Neuromuscular Research Center, Oklahoma State University’s Health and Human Performance Department and Northeastern University’s Physical Therapy Department.

Using Your Ergonomic Backpack

Step 1. Inflate or deflate (unplug nozzle and squeeze) the lumbar cushion as needed for comfort.

Step 2. Load the pack (heaviest items toward the back) being careful not to exceed the recommended pack weight for your size (see chart below).

Step 3. Cinch the side straps to bring the load closer to your center of gravity.

Step 4. Adjust the shoulder straps at the top so that the lumbar cushion rests at the small of your back. Try a few different adjustments until you find the optimal positioning.

Step 5. If the shoulder straps pinch under your arms, release the clasps at the bottom of the straps, then readjust the clasps at the top of the straps to reposition the lumbar cushion at the small of your back. Inflate or deflate the lumbar cushion as needed for comfort and support.
