An ergonomic handbag is an excellent choice for a reduction of stress on the back, shoulders, and neck. Due to it's special design, pressure is lowered through distribution of your purse contents throughout the bag, which also makes finding your essentials easier!

I use to work in a Chiropractic Office and daily saw the pain women suffer from carrying a poorly designed purse that digs into the shoulder and throws the spinal alignment of the body out of adjustment. Recent research suggests that, of the women who carry large handbags, the medium weight ranges from 7 to 10 pounds! Statistically speaking, about 13.7 million people went to the doctor in 2003 for shoulder problems. Back pain affects some 90% of people in the world at some time in their lives and is the leading cause of doctor visits and missed days of work.

Protect yourself from becoming a statistic by being aware of your posture and lifting techniques, especially if you are the mother of children. Even more at risk are pregnant women and new mothers because pregnancy hormones soften the ligaments which hold the spine in place. Also lifting a child up without awareness of your body alignment can do damage to the shoulder, neck, or back. An ergonomically designed bag can help in the war of trying to stay pain free and healthy!

We are now carrying purse patterns with an ergonomic twist (no pun intended!). Patterns range from "Easy On The Back" to the "Hip Hugger" pattern, giving you choices to help protect your back, shoulders, and neck.
