Sports reviews of OPTP # 702 The Original Mckenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density

Customer Review: Excellent Product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

At my doctor's suggestion, I purchased the McKenzie book and the McKenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density. I used a rolled up towel until the McKenzie Roll arrived. I tried my one hour commute to work with and without the McKenzie Roll. Conclusion: The McKenzie Roll is dramatically effective for me; I would even say amazing. A rolled up towel of the same size is too firm, particularly in my vehicle seat. After experimenting, I now do not strap the roll to the seatback; it is easier to just position the roll after sitting in the seat as instructed. It is important to "roll" the roll into the correct spot on your back; too high or too low greatly reduces the effectiveness. It does take some getting used to, but it is well worth the effort. I now find I forget it is there after ten minutes or so. I started to cut off the strap, but then I found it is handy for attaching the roll to the outside of my computer bag to take on the airplane. I also tried the D-shaped roll, but I like the round one better; it is easier to roll into just the right position. I think the McKenzie exercises are also important. They are easy and don't take much time; however, I think they must be performed exactly as instructed in the book to be effective.

Description of OPTP # 702 The Original Mckenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density

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..."
