Good Support Aug 06, 2007
By S. Blake
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.

 Thank God! Nov 15, 2007
By Therese Szymanski

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.

 Lumbar roll Feb 08, 2008
By Elissa Tommasi
The Lumbar roll is a good product however I ordered a firm one and it is way too hard. It's difficult to adjust the roll to your lumbar area because it's so hard.
I would not order firm but the middle density.

BEST USE for THIS PRODUCT May 15, 2008
By Avis Y. Grant

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.

A must for a bad back! Nov 17, 2007
By Peg
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.
