Your back carries your whole day Most work bags make it harder

Laptop, charger, lunch, a full water bottle. Most work bags hang all of it off your shoulders and leave your lower back to deal with the rest.

Relievo was started by college students living with scoliosis and other back conditions. They wanted a bag that helps on the way to work instead of making it worse.

Now turn on the heat

A heating panel is built into the back of every Relievo, right where your back gets tired.

Coils run across your upper, middle and lower back, so the warmth covers the whole panel instead of one hot spot.

Choose low, medium or high with the button next to the USB-C port. Heat helps loosen stiffness and ease pain on the way in.

Underneath sits a memory-foam lumbar pillow, shaped to hold up your lower back and take the pressure off.

Hiking packs feel great Nobody wears one to a meeting

Until now you had to pick: a bag that is kind to your back, or a bag that looks right at work. Relievo is the only heated backpack built for back health that is also made for the office.

Four things your old bag doesn’t have

Glowing heating coils inside the back panel

Heated back panel

Heat therapy for pain and stiffness, with three levels to choose from.

Padded shoulder straps with red stitching

Clavicle pads

Extra padding where the straps meet your collarbones, so your shoulders carry less.

A handprint pressed into slow-rebound memory foam

Lumbar pillow

High-density memory foam shaped to your lower back. Better posture, less pressure.

A water bottle tucked into a zip pouch in the base of the bag

Hip strap and bottle pouch

The hip strap moves weight onto your hips. A waterproof pouch in the base keeps your bottle low and centered.

Made by students who know back pain

Relievo began with college students living with scoliosis and other back conditions. Every bag they tried was either comfortable or presentable, never both.

So they designed one for people like them: professionals who commute every day, carry a lot, and take their back health seriously without wanting to look clinical.

7.23 million

working professionals commute with a backpack and live with chronic back or shoulder pain. That group grows by about 1.09% every year.
