Healthy Back Bag Company
“The Healthy Back Bag® is the world’s first “backbag”, designed to ease the back pain experienced by one in three UK adults. A feat of ergonomic design, the backbag contours to the natural curve of the spine and makes heavy bags feel light.

Developed by a chiropractor, the Healthy Back Bag’s patented teardrop design means heavy items such as laptops can now be carried with ease. The stylish one-strap design efficiently distributes weight across key touchpoints through the length of the whole back. This differs from standard shoulder bags which pull from one point on the shoulder. The result is to vastly reduce stress to the back, shoulders and neck. The backbag can be carried on either shoulder, across the back or even securely across the chest, which offers easy access to the inside without having to take the backbag off. The “no-slip” strap feature prevents the annoying slippage common to most shoulder bags.

The United Chiropractic Association represents a group of chiropractors who believe that the principles on which chiropractic was founded are as important today as they were in beginning. The UCA stand behind the idea that health is a natural state for the human body and that the nervous system has a central role in regulating and coordinating the functions of the body. Misalignment of the spine known as a vertebral subluxation diminishes nerve function impacting the nervous system. Chiropractors in the UCA are concerned with the detection and removal of vetebral sublucxtaion via a chiropractic adjustment to restore nerve function
