"Good Support"

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. 4 stars

"Lumbar Roll"

I ordered three lumbar rolls. I received only one. Called the company and they immediatley responded by sending two more which I received in two to three days. Hey, everyone makes honest mistakes, the important thing is they corrected it immediatley. The product is great and really helps with back pain. 4 stars

"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. 5 stars

"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!!!

"Lumbar roll"

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. 2 stars
