Chiropractors issue warning for men packing purses

LONDON - Sporting a weighty man bag may be the latest fashion for fellows but it can cause back pain and poor posture, British chiropractors said this month.

Trendsetters such as footballer David Beckham, rapper Jay-Z and actor Brad Pitt have all been spotted wearing the functional fashion accessory that the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) said can be bad for your back.

The BCA said the man bag in its various guises — from traditional over the shoulder laptop case, to messenger bag and satchel — should be used with caution.
