The BackTpack is an ergonomic pack for school, travel, hiking and every day use. Designed by a physical therapist to relieve back and neck pain, improve balance and promote good posture. BackTpack is a revolutionary carrying system that through everyday carrying habits, uses the vertical force of gravity for training proper alignment of the skeleton in the way the body was designed to function. It allows you to stand, walk and sit with your spine and head tall and your shoulders relaxed in a healthy "T" posture. These postural habits will contribute to lifelong healthy movement and a strong skeleton.
Common backpacks require you to lean or pull forward to compensate for the load on the back. This posture has led to countless back, neck and shoulder problems. Since the load of the BackTpack is balanced and aligned with your natural axis, no compensation is necessary. The body's response is only to strengthen a tall posture while the load feels much lighter to the wearers. View PDF of Fit instructions for BackTpack
