The original McKenzie Roll is made of high-density foam and is therefore quite firm. It is recommended for use on soft furnishings such as sofas, lounge chairs, etc., or for people who require lots of support.
World-renowned physiotherapist Robin McKenzie designed the Original McKenzie D-Shape Lumbar Roll as part of the McKenzie Lumbar Roll range. When used correctly, this versatile back support cushion can prevent and alleviate neck and back pain caused by poor posture. Made to the highest quality and specification, this authentic lumbar roll is recommended for soft furnishings such as sofas and lounge chairs. It is also ideal for use in the home, office, or car for people who require lots of support, such as those with a heavier build or a large hollow in their lower back.
The Original McKenzie D-Shape Lumbar Rollback support cushion promotes normal alignment of the lower back when sitting. The human spine naturally forms an S shape, with the spine curving forwards at the lower back, outwards at the middle back, and forwards again at the neck. When we sit, we tend to slump, meaning the lumbar spine drops backward, reversing its natural curve. In this slumped position, the muscles at the bottom of the back are stretched, often leading to back and neck pain. The Original McKenzie D-Shape Lumbar Roll can help prevent and relieve this discomfort by promoting correct posture and the natural ‘S’ shape of the spine.
