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..."

5 out of 5 stars Recommended by my physical therapist - I love it!!   October 20, 2009
Polly Positive (Cleveland, OH)
This is an awesome product! Poor posture caused my back problem to worsen, and this product has REALLY helped. My physical therapist recommended it and it has made a huge difference. Amazon's suppliers have the best price on this from what I could find - I have seen it selling for twice this cost. Very satisfied with this purchase!!

Really good product for people who have to sit in a chair all day at work. But you have to do the stretches too!

This product took so much time to arrive (more than 10 days) that I left for the trip onwhich I intended to uise it before it arrived and so cannot review it how well it meets my needs yet.


2 out of 5 stars Very "squishy" and quick to lose firmness   June 11, 2009

I've had this about two weeks and am disappointed in it. The strap doesn't fasten well around a standard office chair and easily loosens. The roll says it's a "standard firmness." That's a meaningless description and makes it hard to make a sensible purchase. I'd say that this roll is not even as firm as what you would have by rolling up a normal terrycloth towel into a roll form. Worse, after only a few days, the roll became deformed just by virtue of having used it. I'm going to now spend the $ for the "firmer" roll but am not terribly optimistic given the quality of this product.
