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..."
Lumbar roll - great back supportNovember 21, 2008 The Lumbar roll was exactly as described. Item arrived quickly, well-packaged. Item pricing + shipping was reasonable- not the cheapest, not the most expensive, however quality of the item was right on target. I would buy from this source again, without hesitation!
Great Product!November 19, 2008 I was skeptical about this at first, but after struggling with back pain for over 2 years, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! This is the only product that has helped! I wouldn't be without it.
HugeOctober 3, 2008 This roll is huge and pushes me way too far forward. As an average sized woman I can't see using this size roll in any kind of seat unless it was really concave and wide.
Good portable back supportAugust 19, 2008 I purchased this product after reading Dr. McKenzie's book, 7 steps to a pain free life. I use it in the car and in my home, and it really helps with lower back support. The only drawback seems to be that after prolonged use, it becomes flattened and tends to lose some of its support. It does spring back to it's round shape over time. Perhaps the extra firm model would be better in retaining its shape.
lumbar support for your carseat.August 9, 2008 This product took some getting used to. I use it in my car. I find that it works but it seems to lose it's firmness so, I have to reach behind my back while I'm driving and rotate it. It's an okay product. I feel better after using it on a long drive.
