  Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with Balanced Life Chiropractic. We've
• 0:04
  got doctor Harley joining us, Hey doing doctor Harley Hay, Good morning John.
• 0:07
  Kids are back at school, So now they're sitting in the classrooms and
• 0:10
  they're dragging backpacks back and forth, and there's all kinds of stuff that these
• 0:14
  are different things than what they're used to in the summer. Right. Yeah,
• 0:17
  you would think they would remember everything they did the previous school year,
• 0:20
  but it's like one summer hits everything gets forgotten, and then when we start
• 0:24
  the school year again, it's like we have to relearn everything. So one
• 0:27
  thing I wanted to touch about today and maybe a couple of things, is,
• 0:30
  you know, backpacks and how they're sitting at their desk. We've been
• 0:33
  talking a lot about stress and sickness and that kind of stuff, but also
• 0:36
  some of the everyday repetitive motions that they're doing that can be causing some of
• 0:41
  the aches pains and that they're noticing. So one thing I started with the
• 0:45
  backpacks is there are a lot of times too heavy, and part of that
• 0:50
  is they don't necessarily need to carry all this stuff everywhere, but it's easier
• 0:53
  if they just put it all in the bag and drag it at all everywhere.
• 0:56
  But they don't need to do that, right, It depends, I
• 0:58
  guess on the school. Some schools they have lockers that they can go back
• 1:00
  and forth between, and they have time to do it. Sometimes maybe they
• 1:03
  do need to carry a lot of stuff because they're having to go all the
• 1:06
  way to the other side of the building. It just kind of depends on
• 1:08
  what their school looks like. You could just do what I did. I
• 1:11
  didn't carry any about any of those in my backpacks. I said, comic
• 1:14
  books. That's all I needed. Like, well, we'll see what Thor
• 1:17
  thinks about this. How do you do in school? John? I did
• 1:19
  really well. Actually, oh, sadly, I didn't really read comic books.
• 1:22
  I was kidding about that. It's store even in comic books. I
• 1:25
  don't even know. Yeah, I thought I just knew it was in the
• 1:26
  movies. So yeah, well, most of the movies came from comic That's
• 1:30
  what I was thinking. I say, I'm trying to be funny, and
• 1:32
  I have no idea what I'm talking about. But no, I think that
• 1:34
  a lot of the time people do carry way too much stuff in there.
• 1:38
  So even if they do have to carry all their stuff, maybe they could
• 1:41
  limit some of the other things maybe potentially too. But also how are they
• 1:44
  carrying their backpack? Are they carrying one that's to begin with too big?
• 1:48
  And that comes with like really little elementary school kids all times they're carrying too
• 1:51
  big of a backpack. You know, your backpack should be less than ten
• 1:55
  percent of your body weight. Oh wow, so it seems like like that
• 1:57
  seems like that's a small person. But obviously the bigger kids they're going to
• 2:00
  be carrying a little bit more weight. But also how are you carrying Are
• 2:05
  you carrying it close to your body? Are you doing the one shoulder shrug
• 2:07
  thing? Or you got do you have a one shoulder bag in general?
• 2:10
  Or carry on luggage not have it tight enough too? So that's another thing.
• 2:15
  If you're carrying a really heavy backpack, how loose is it on you?
• 2:16
  Because you want that backpack a little bit tighter to you, higher up
• 2:20
  on your back, then you're not gonna be leaning down with it. It's
• 2:23
  not gonna be pulling you backwards as much. Do you think they could use
• 2:25
  carry on luggage that has the wheels, just roll that from room to room.
• 2:29
  I don't know. That'd be a great question for the school principles.
• 2:31
  If they make them carry their books everywhere, they should be able to do
• 2:34
  that right, reach out to Sunny Radio. If you answer to that,
• 2:38
  start doing like a Q and a session. Yeah, I did a lot
• 2:40
  of quesn't that many as well? Maybe your listeners have some answers there you
• 2:45
  go, that's good. So that's definitely one thing being mindful up is what's
• 2:47
  in their backpack? How are they carrying? But then too, how are
• 2:50
  they sitting in class? What kind of tears are they using? Obviously they
• 2:52
  might not have much of an option with the chairs. I know some school
• 2:55
  districts are getting a little more progressive with like having different options. You know,
• 3:00
  what works for them for learning? Do they like this kind of chair,
• 3:02
  this kind of style? So that's cool. Ibously, if you don't
• 3:05
  go to one of those schools and you're stuck with like your plain desk,
• 3:07
  make sure you're sitting up right. I know it's not as comfortable, it's
• 3:10
  not as fall on your board, you're not liking your class or whatnot,
• 3:15
  but sitting up properly, you know, elbows at ninety and ninety hips and
• 3:19
  knees at ninety and ninety sitting upright, you're gonna have your back is gonna
• 3:22
  thank you. Your head is gonna thank you because you're not having all that
• 3:24
  forward head posture. It's much better in the long run to have good posture
• 3:30
  at your desk versus slouching nice and that's just having the proper posture. Posture
• 3:36
  is a big factor to a lot of things, it really is. So
• 3:38
  if somebody listening is going have you got some questions? Maybe not those silly
• 3:42
  things I was talking about, but if they get some good questions that might
• 3:45
  relate to what you guys do, how do they get older? Here at
