OPTP The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll – Standard Density Low Back Support

I have yet to use this on the airplane or while driving but I've been using it at my office job for a full week and I cannot recommend it enough. I think everyone nowadays has bad posture but if you struggle to maintain good posture for even a minute at a time, buy this (I had spinal fusion surgery, so take my word for it). If you sit right with your butt snug to the back of your chair but the lumbar support or the shape of the chair doesn't fit perfectly with your back, this helps a lot. It kinda forces me to sit more upright and if I do give up on having good posture for a bit, the stiffness of the roll is strong enough to support my lower back so I don't have bad back support. Takes a lot of pressure off my lower back.

Perfect support for long road trips... well made from sturdy fabric.

Works great to apply just enough lumbar support to take pressure off the sciatic nerve! Soft yet firm enough to do the job. It came yesterday and I have been wearing it around my waist like a reverse fanny pack around the house so whenever I go to sit down, bam, it’s right there in the right spot for support after adjusting for the chair. When I got in the car, it was right there on me so whether I was in the drivers seat or passenger seat, it worked. I would have given this a 5 start except for a slight design flaw. The strap has a buckle clasp to let in and out instead of a click connector which would make getting it on and off much easier. You could adjust it to the size you need then click to connect! If this wears out, I’ll buy again!!!

I've been fighting a persistently inflamed lower back and this is helping. Running, situps, leg lifts, stretches, and others seem to help a little but the inflammed back. But the moment I sit down to work, then try to stand up again 30 minutes later, my lower back is stiff and hurts a bit. This is the first thing I've found where I stand up from sitting, and the inflammation...just isn't there. For standard vs firm stiffness, I went with standard. That's great for general sitting. It compresses down to 1 inches or 1.5 inches. But if I had a pulled back muscle and I was sitting on a bench, I'd rather have firm. I may end up buying a firm for those days.

does the job, but a bit soft. The straps are better than on a previous product. Overall, my low back would like firmer support.

Almost instantly my lower back pain reduced 95%. I use it every night while sitting and watching TV. My husband also purchase this as he has had a bad fall and fractured 2 vertabrae. He even takes it to restaurants. It helps with his pain in his mid back. L1. I encourage a purchase for lumbar pain. It is not soft, but not rockhard. You can strap it around a chair. I highly recommend this. My Physical Therapist recommended this product to us.

This helps with my hip problems, worth every penny!!

It's too soft, I thought it would more firm

Excelente ferramenta de massagem. No início as dores aumentam, mas com o tempo vão desaparecendo. Eu recomendo.

Good Product and easy to manage

At first use, I thought this roll was too hard and was contemplating returning it. I use it when sitting in my recliner. I decided to give it a second chance and my back felt ok. As time has gone on, I’m loving this roll and if it was any softer, it wouldn’t have done the job of supporting my lower back. I do really love the strap which allows me to just wear the roll around my waist so I don’t have to constantly readjust it every time I get up and sit down.

Good piece of foam with a strap, so as to stop it moving out of position, or to relocate position on spine. Happy with it. Drive road trains for 12hrs a day and it's comfortable for those long periods.
