School Bag Back Pain, A Growing Problem
Heavy school bags are causing a concerning rise in back pain in school-age children in India. A bag exceeding 10–15% of body weight significantly stresses the developing spine. Dr. Maitri Kothari advises on correct bag weight, how to wear it properly, and exercises to strengthen children's backs preventively.
