My Shoulders Are Killing Me

Say, does anybody know a good massage therapist? My shoulders are killing me. Why? Because I have so many books to carry. My anatomy text includes my Netter's and my instructor lectures out of it (and he talks really fast) so I need to bring extra paper. He also references my Essential Clinical Anatomy. I have other classes, too, which either require manuals or printed materials. All that paper gets heavy.

I'm thinking about investing in an ergonomic backpack. I have no idea where to start or which ones to look at. I guess I'll start my search at amazon.com. What I'm looking for is a something with a square top, the back pack I have curves closed at the top and it is a pain to get big square books in and out. Mine also doesn't have a very big capacity, but that may be for the best considering I'm having a hard time shouldering the load as it is. A rolling book bag might be nice, however most of the models I've seen are for children.

If any of my readers know about good ergonomic backpacks, at a reasonable price point, of course (after all, I'm a student, now), I'd appreciate your input.
