Suffering for beauty is something that all the women having always been doing. However, this season many of us will be suffering for fashion carrying those super sized totes.
Chiropractors world wide are warning ladies against heavy handbag related injuries.
The problem arises from the fact that the bags are unnecessarily big sized, and to add more to them is the endless bling stuff that adds on to the weight of the bag. Infinite depth of bags encourages them to carry all kinda stuff that they don’t really need.
A recent study revealed that women today carry twice as much in their handbags as our mothers used to. The house-sized bags these days accommodate wallet/diary/address book Filofax affair, an entire make-up bag and a bottle of water, bunches of keys for the house, the office and the car. And not to forget our great gizmos including MP3 players, mobile phones, laptops etc.
The problem with carrying a heavy bag is that while it may not cause you an injury at the time you carry it, over time it has a cummulative effect, and we’re certainly seeing more instances of back pain triggered as a result,
says Tim Hutchful of the British Chiropractic Association.
In the worst of instances, women have injured their neck by stretching the nerves. Also, carrying a heavy bag over one shoulder shifts the entire weight on it, as one without realizing hikes the other shoulder up. This can consequently lead to twisted or lop-sided body position.
So all you ladies take care and don’t suffer for the sake of fashion.
