My Bag Is Killing Me
In the last few years, bags have become ever more voluminous, and as women have fallen sway to their chunky charms, they have filled them up with necessities. These days many women are as burdened as mail carriers.As a result, reports of shoulder soreness and stiff necks are on the rise and doctors, massage therapists and chiropractors are tailoring treatments for the bag-obsessed.
“In the last year or so, I’ve been seeing the same kinds of issues with adult women that I’m used to seeing with kids who carry heavy backpacks on one shoulder,” said Karen Erickson, a chiropractor who has a private practice on the Upper West Side, and also serves as a spokeswoman for the American Chiropractic Association. “They’re experiencing neck pain — not just while they’re carrying their purses, but all the time. A lot of women even get bad headaches.”
“Lately, when a patient comes in complaining of these symptoms, I walk over and pick up her purse,” she added. “Without fail, it weighs a ton.”

30 tips for better business travel
My favourites from the list:
Stay healthy. Would you really eat peanuts and crisps, drink wine, have chocolate and drink coffee all day at the office? OK - so maybe you would. But on a plane, you need to keep hydrated to avoid getting tired. Take water and perhaps some fruit - and avoid coffee and alcohol. -- Simon Briskman, lawyer, Field Fisher WaterhouseIf you aren't yet a Skype subscriber then think about becoming one. In some countries, using VoIP in the hotel lobby or a wi-fi zone can save you a small fortune in mobile phone roaming charges. Don't forget to pack your headset. -- Simon Moores, columnist, silicon.com
Pack paper and pen - they have a longer battery life than your laptop and are more multi-functional. -- Rob Bamforth, analyst, Quocirca
Buy a light travel bag that holds a change of clothes, laptop, charger, phone, pen, paper and has a handle, shoulder and backpack straps. -- Rob Bamforth, analyst, Quocirca
Ask for a specific seat when checking in. Make a note from past travels on a route or, if you're travelling to or from the US and know the plane/airline, use seatguru.com - even the best business or first class seats can vary by being close to or far from galleys, toilets or even other seats. -- Tony Hallett, editor, silicon.com
