The Original McKenzie® Signature Round Roll
The Original McKenzie® Signature Round Roll
$50.00
Our new Signature Range Round Roll provides a firm lumbar support particularly suited to larger framed people, or for those with a pronounced lumbar lordosis (hollow in the low back). It provides essential support especially when sitting on softer furnishings like a sofa or armchair, where often there is minimal built-in back support. They are also great to support you whilst sitting in bed.
All Signature Range lumbar rolls are made with superior injected moulded foam which retains its supportive qualities for an almost indefinite period. They are crafted from the finest-materials, featuring a warm and luxurious suede-type fabric cover, complete with embroidery detail and removable, adjustable straps.
Back problems can develop from a slouched sitting posture. This lumbar support improves posture and ensures correct and natural positioning of the lower spine while sitting.
Research has shown that proper, regular use of the Original McKenzie® Lumbar Supports will help you eliminate most of the common back and related pains that develop as a result of postural stress.
Designed with your comfort in mind, for use at home, in the car, or the office.
Suited For
Larger framed people, or for those with a pronounced lumbar lordosis (hollow in the base of the back) for everyday use. Also great for smaller/medium framed people when sitting on softer furnishings like a sofa or armchair, or sitting up in bed.

The Mckenzie Method Story
Robin McKenzie made an astonishing discovery early on in his career as a physiotherapist.
By placing a patient’s back in a controlled extended position, the patient reported their back pain beginning to disappear.
Knowing he was on to something, he started testing this with other patients, and got similar results.
After 10 hard years of collecting data, and 1000s of patient trials, Robin McKenzie introduced to the medical world proof of his discovery – they were shocked.
Introducing: The McKenzie Method.
Over the following decades, the McKenzie Method would turn into a global phenomenon, with Robin McKenzie becoming one of the world’s most renowned physiotherapists and the McKenzie Method being in use by tens of thousands of Physiotherapists worldwide.
But he needed a way for patient’s to be able to easily maintain this back position for longer periods of time. So, Robin had his wife, Joy, hand-make a prototype on his kitchen table, and the very first McKenzie Method lumbar roll was born.
In 1980, the first “Treat Your Own Back” book was published, allowing people experiencing back pain to treat their own back pain using the highly successful and proven McKenzie Method treatment techniques.
It has since sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
The new Signature Super Lumbar roll captures the success of that first roll made on Robin’s kitchen table, now with over 60 years of refinement and perfection – and still made in New Zealand.

Lower Back Exercises to Pair With Your The Mckenzie Lumbar Roll
Try these exercises in conjunction with your Mckenzie Lumbar Roll for best results:
An extract from the book: ‘Mckenzie Method Treat Your Own Back’
Lie face down (Position 1), and then place your hands under your shoulders in the press-up position (Position 2). Now you are ready to begin the exercise.
As you straighten your elbows, push the top half of your body up as far as pain permits (Position 3). It is important that you completely relax the pelvis, hips and legs as you do this, and remember to keep breathing normally.
Keep your pelvis, hips and legs hanging limp and allow your low back to sag. • maintain this position for a second or two, then lower yourself to the starting position. • repeat this movement cycle in a smooth rhythmical motion and try to raise your upper body a little higher each time, so that in the end your back is extended as much as possible, with your arms as straight as possible (Position 4).
Once your arms are straight, remember to hold the sag for a second or two as this is the most important part of the exercise. A more effective sag can be achieved by breathing all the way out while relaxing your low back, hips and legs. The sag may be maintained for longer than one or two seconds if you feel the pain is reducing or centralising.
