With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory for working women,
health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern. Bags for
women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with
handbags and straps have become longer but the extra leverage has many patients
complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems."I see so many women with neck
pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it
up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician on the medical staff at
Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. "We take it over to the scale and weigh
it and usually they're anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds (3.1-4.5 kgs)...We're really
going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big
purse craze."William Case, a physical therapist in private practice in Houston,
said an aggravated neck or shoulder can lead to upper back problems, meaning
pain may then be felt while working at a computer or playing sports.He urged
designers "to place a cute, educational caution tag on all bags to inform of
potential neck and shoulder dangers. "Above all, he recommended correct posture
while carrying bulky purses, keeping the head and shoulders aligned upright.
Patients should also frequently change the size and weight of purses carried."If
a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If
not, then keep it light." he said. |
