It’s back to school time and kids have new backpacks that they are filling up for the first and not the last time. Brea Cinnamon with OSF Saint Luke Medical Center wants parents to take a closer look at your child’s backpacks to make sure they are packed safely. Over packing, too much weight or incorrect weight distribution can cause long term health issues, everything from bad posture to back pain down the road can come from carrying a too heavy backpack earlier in life. Brea joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about backpack safety and back to school health.
