A few days ago we were talking about the campaign that the Collegiate Medical Organization (WTO) and the Kovacs Foundation have launched, which focuses on the practice of sport and the good use of backpacks to prevent backaches. This "Back Comics" is an excellent material for children to learn how to take care of their body.
In this comic, brief and addressed to the little ones, there are two children, Juan and María and Dr. Espalda who guide us to know how to take care of the back, with advice to keep it healthy and strong. These are the keys with which the comic advances:
- Exercise and sport, move! We already know how important physical activity is to prevent multiple health problems in children, also those related to the back.
- What to do if your back hurts: gentle exercise, do not lie on your back and consult your pediatrician if pain persists.
- How to prevent back pain.
- How to carry the backpack well to school: you have to wear both straps, carry the weight in the center of the back and at the waist level and keep it attached to the body.
- A knowledge test tests what the kids have learned with the comics.
