The Back PROBLEM
Growing bodies need proper care, support and protection in relation to their neck and spine. Any damage done in these areas during childhood or adolescence can have serious consequences in later life. Today, research shows that more and more children are experiencing back and neck pain and that carrying heavy school bags every day can be one of the causes of this.
The School Bag Company Solution
Choose your school bag from our wide range of backpacks which The School Bag Company have put 30 years’ experience into developing. Our experience has allowed us to fully understand how ergonomic design is vitally important when creating a backpack which will help combat the development of back pain and why at The School Bag Company we:
- Produce professionally endorsed backpacks
- Offer advice on how to choose, fit and wear backpacks
- Have designed our backpacks in conjunction with world leading professional chiropractic organisations

The ChiroPak is our flagship backpack for back health. It is exclusively endorsed by the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA) for reducing the likelihood of back pain and comes with our highest recommendation. It is available in three sizes to suit young school ages through to adult.
