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..."Sports reviews of OPTP # 702 The Original Mckenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density
Customer Review: Thank God!

I've got a bad back and the lumbar roll I keep in my car recently, well, rolled out without my knowing. I tried several different more expensive products to replace it, and then went to a local Joanna's Bed and Back store. One of these was twice as expensive there, so I ordered several from The Therapy Connection at HPMS, Inc.
First off, I got them BEFORE Amazon's earliest estimate as to when I'd get it -- so it was amazingly fast and accurate service (I'd definitely buy from them again).
Secondly, I put one on my writing chair last night and I could finally sit in it again! These things are wonderful and just what I need to be able to sit upright for hours. (The chair is a Lazy Boy, and this is the first one of these I've had on it with a strap long enough to go around. It's a very adjustable strap and I'm sure it'll work with the various chairs I need it to work with.)
Now I just have to decide whether the standard or firm works best for me in which chair.
Customer Review: This is not a toy...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I don't understand why Amazon is asking us How much fun this toy is... among other things... But whatever Amazon thinks, this is NOT a toy. It certainly is a great lumbar roll. I was a little disappointed as it wasn't as firm as I had hoped it would be but I guess I just remembered incorrectly.
I purchased this on a recommendation from my physical therapist after having a endoscopic discectomy on my L5-S1 disc. It does help me sit straighter, but it is not a GOD SEND that I carry everywhere with me. I currently have it in my car and it is just good enough (for me) that I am seriously considering purchasing another one. I recognize that it will be better for my back and help me heal a little faster.
In conclusion:
- great lumbar roll
- wish it was firmer
- wish it was slightly longer, I'm not a slight person...
Customer Review: 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.
As a massage therapist who has suffered from low back pain for over 40 years, Mckenzie has developed the best method I have encountered for dealing with acute and chronic pain. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THESE!!!
Customer Review: A must for a bad back!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My PT gave me my first one. Then I bought one of these for my car, my desk at work, and my computer chair at home. Yes, they are a little uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it. I have a degenerative disc due to back surgery years ago, and have a bad, disabling episode of back pain about once a year. In episodes of back pain, they help alleviate it by aligning your back. If used all the time, it will help prevent episodes which I believe are caused by weeks or months of improper sitting, lifting, etc. I had stopped using my support roll prior to my last episode. No more!
The only drawback is the strap comes undone easily.
I highly recommend.
Customer Review: Lower Back Problem while driving
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A previous review stated that this back rest is to hard (note: I did purchase the Firm Density one). For most people I will have to agree, but I love the Firmness of it. I am a man, 6 foot 4 inches tall, so I am a big guy. for the average size person or a woman (not to stereotype) the regular would be fine. I am very happy with it as it seems to correct my back problem when I take long trips.
