Any kind of activity with poor alignment will cause strain and risk of injury when it is extended. Young people who carry a school bags, hikers and soldiers who carry heavy backpacks are likely to bend into forward posture because of the load.

There is widespread alarm over the posture of young people and their posture. Extended periods in any position makes it a dominant position. This applies to activities text messaging on a cell phone, at a computer workstation, on a laptop, on a piano bench and carrying a heavy school backpack. This young man demonstrates the stability with a backpack. It has many applications. Think of how many kids carry heavy packs for school purposes. Watch their alignment! Fix it before it becomes a deeply ingrained habit!

This reduces the risk of injury. The PostureJac is a training and exercise device.It is not necessary to wear it everytime you carry a backpack. Use it to learn the mechanics of good posture - the feeling of alignment when the spine is under stress. How much it is used, depends on the load and for how long. Carrying a backpack like this young man on a long trip, it would ease the strain and allow gravity to work in his favour.
