Shoulder pack problem?
I have recently purchased a "sling" or "messenger" pod, as I prefer this to my previous lofty rucksack. As I have to carry my pencil casing, valuables and 5 subjects' worth of books and textbooks in my backpack to school (walking about 2 miles to and from school) I be wondering whether shoulder bags could inflict pain on the shoulder?
For example, could you dislocate your shoulder if you continuously put the strap of your rucksack on your shoulder?
I have tried walking around with my shoulder pack, and only after 5 minutes it starts hurting me. Any solutions?
Answer: Wear the bag across your body, it distributes the bulk better..
A few years ago I read an article by callard Pinkney the lady who invented callanetics. She did so after her concern about the amount of injuries she have sustained after back packing an carrying a shoulder bag for years. And so she introduced these movements not unlike pilates to raise the posture of the spine.
I'm appalled that schools and colleges make no privsion for students or pupils to preserve their books etc at their place of study instead of having to lug them everywhere they go and afterwards take them home everynight..

My friend used a shoulder bag and terminated up with a really sore shoulder. Not sure you'd dislocate your shoulder.
Her doctor advised rucksack as shipment is distributed evenly. But if you're really keen to use Sling bag next you may get used to it. I think you should swap sides that you wear your shoulder purse on, because ti you keep wearing it on one side, your shoulder on that side may slump down. It won't slump down noticeably, but purely subtly..
You will get used 2 it i have used a shoulderr daypack 4 3 years and im fine with it! =]
