The Product

The Totem Orthopaedic schoolbag has been an entrenched product for over a decade. The design has been well researched and medically approved internationally by Orthopaedic doctors, Chiropractors and Physiotherapy Associations.

Features

Totem’s unique supportive, contoured back system, offers stability and ensures an even distribution of weight with perfect contact between the shoulders and lower back. The combination of thick padding in strategic areas and stable support prevent muscle strain and pressure across the shoulder and neck area.

In addition to the medical benefits, Totem schoolbags carry a lengthy guarantee and are exceptionally durable due to stringent quality testing. They have earned a reputation of lasting for many years, in spite of the treatment kids dish out.

The Totem Orthopaedic schoolbags were launched in South Africa, over a decade ago and have been purchased by thousands of satisfied parents all over the country. We have now expanded into new markets abroad.
