Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Over the years, The Original McKenzie Lumbar Rolls have literally helped hundreds of thousands achieve freedom from common low back pain. An adjustable elastic strap lets users secure the roll to standard chair backs and auto seats. Proven quality! An independent laboratory compared the high quality McKenzie Lumbar Rolls, by OPTP, with competitive products and found '...the OPTP Lumbar Roll is more supportive, will not lose its supportive qualities as quickly, and will offer more consistent support longer than the other rolls sampled.' An independent laboratory confirmed the superiority of The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll in a blind random analysis with test rolls from our largest competitors. While the foam used in a competitor's lumbar roll suffered immediate and continued structural breakdown, OPTP's roll suffered no structural breakdown and remained consistent through the test period. The lab's conclusion: '...the OPTP lumbar roll is more supportive, will not lose its supportive qualities as quickly, and will offer more consistent support longer than the other rolls sampled...'



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Low Back Pain Relief
The McKenzie lumbar roll provides instant relief from lower back pain while sitting. The roll provides firm support in the lumbar region keeping the back in a more upright and proper position. The roll discourages slumping and poor posture.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - BEST USE for THIS PRODUCT
I use this product in a completely different way: length-wise along the spine for heavenly relief. Place the roll on the floor or a firm mattress and align your spine along the roll. Better than a professional massage. I take a 15 minute rest twice a day and hate to get up ! Your shoulder blades fall to each side in a perfect alignment. Try it, you'll like it. I am searching for 16-18" which would be even more effective.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lumbar roll
Great product- recommended after neck surgery to keep you sitting straight- works great and relieves neck strain. I love it!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Lumbar roll
The Lumbar roll is a good product however I ordered a firm one and it is way too hard. It's difficult to adjust the roll to your lumbar area because it's so hard.
I would not order firm but the middle density.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - McKenzie rolls are the GREATEST!!
If you have lumbar or cervical issues, one the these rolls is an absolute must. Not only do they help curb acute pain, but also help to get your back into the correct postural curve when used correctly. You should also buy 7 Days to a Pain Free Back and Neck. The Therapy Connect has the BEST prices on these rolls anywhere.
If you suffer from neck or back pain, consult your doctor first, BUT get McKenzie's book and a roll. They will change your life to one pain free.
