| Designer handbag bag back woes |
| Saturday, December 22, 2007 |

OVERSIZED and overstuffed handbags are giving women a bad case of "bag back" as the average weight of bags reaches 2.3kg. Sydney chiropractors report seeing an increasing number of women developing spinal problems as they carry the weight of the world in bigger bags. "It is becoming a very common problem but one that develops very subtly," Macquarie University Department of Health and Chiropractic senior lecturer Peter Tuchin said. The increased load comes as big bags have become the latest fashion trend and busy women try to stuff more, including multiple electronic gadgets, into their bags. A UK study released this week by British retail chain ASDA found the average women's bag now weighs in at 2.4kg, an increase in weight of 38 per cent over the past five years.
And the future isn't looking rosier with predictions women will be lugging about bags of 3kg within a decade. Beth MacGraw of Edgelciff said she has become a victim of bad back syndrome as she packs her "essentials" into her giant designer Luella Bartley bag. "At the minimum I carry a book, sunglasses, umbrella, iPod, phone, camera and make-up bag," she said. "I make sure I have all things at all times. And the more room I have in the bag I'll always fill it." She said she was also willing to carry her supersize style bag, with heavy charms attached, in the name of fashion.
"I just try to change my bag from arm to arm because I am conscious that it's probably not that good for me," she said. Dr Tuchin said women should be alert to the hazards of heavier bags as the first symptoms were subtle. "People often don't notice a problem building up until its gets really bad," he said. "Early detection is the key." Symptons can include shoulder pain, neck tension, headache and, left untreated, curvature of the spine. Chiropractor Fiona Norman said she was seeing an increasing number of women with problems caused by carrying overloaded bags.
"Part of it is just that women are busy and we carry everything with us," Mrs Norman said. She suggested women unburden their load by clearing out their bag regularly and spreading the weight into two bags or a backpack. Double Bay chiropractor Zoe James said it was best to balance the load of a heavy bag on shoulders rather than at the elbow, which could not bear as much weight. "If you carry a bag on an unsupported elbow after three seconds this causes fatigue on the body," she said. Labels: designer fashion brands, designer handbags, efashionhouse, purses |
