With the start of a new school year, it is important to monitor the health of the child. Particular attention should be paid to the posture of the little ones.
After all, it is at school age that many people are diagnosed with back problems.
For example, it could be slouching.
This is due to poor posture during classes and working at a desk.
This statement was made by orthopedist Daria Cheremisova, reports Gazeta.Ru .
As the specialist noted, it is necessary to explain to the child how to sit at a desk correctly.
She stressed that the elbows should not hang in the air, the back should rest completely on the back of the chair, and the feet should be on the floor.
After each lesson, you should do a little warm-up.
Special attention should be paid to backpacks. They should not be too big. The back should be soft, and the straps should be adjustable.
The weight of a backpack loaded with textbooks cannot exceed 10 percent of the student’s weight.
