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: This isn't a toy.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This really makes a differance in the car. Helps keep you in the correct sitting position.Customer Review: Good Support
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have been having lower back pain due to extended sitting during the day and my physical therapist recommended getting a lumbar roll in addition to doing my stretches and exercises. I wasn't sure which one to get, but this one fit the size dimensions she had recommended. When I first started using the Mckenzie Lumbar Roll I found myself fighting with it because it was extremely firm. I also found it difficult to use on the metro because of the train jerks around so much. However, my physical therapist checked it out and said it was a really good lumbar roll and since then I have found it to be very helpful for my back. I used on a plane trip to and from Chicago and during a week long conference and didn't experience my usual aches. As long as you are willing to work through the initial difficulties of getting used to it, I think this is a very worthwhile product to complement stretches and exercises for lower back pain.Customer Review: Good back support, but depends on the chair you're using
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This roll works best on really bad and uncomfortable chairs with flat backs. I found a good use for it on a cheap office chair; on another, more expensive and ergonomic chair the roll proved to be too large. So if you already have a semi-comfortable seating position with some lower back support, you might do better with lower density roll or some other back support product.
On a side note, I have tried another product of the same brand called self-inflatable airback, and it proved to be really effective on a variety of chairs I use.
Customer Review: Good for the car
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Ordered this for the car as well as the "D" roll for my office. "D" roll works better in office chair as this one is just a bit too plump for fitting my back there, but this one is perfect for my (older) car seats. Allows me to drive with much less pain (have blown discs), and to ride as a passenger for a much longer time than I normally would be able to do. Would recommend having one of these in the car as an emergency supply for anyone who has back problems that need increased lordosis of the spine.Customer Review: BEST USE for THIS PRODUCT
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.
