Do NOT habitually carry your bag/purse/briefcase on the same shoulder or in the same hand. You will create head/neck/shoulder/back problems that, left unchecked, you will not be able to fix. (Seeing some pretty crooked people walking around.)
- try a good backpack for your body
- try a crossbody bag and alternate sides often

- be aware of your posture and gait as much as possible and adjust it as necessary
- do more back exercises (extension) in the gym than chest exercises (flexion)
