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.

Robin Mckenzie

Introducing: The McKenzie Method.

mckenzie method lumbar roll in use

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.

Mckenzie Method Exercises
Empowering patients to treat themselves through the Mckenzie Method. Robin McKenzie is globally recognised as an authority on the treatment and prevention of back pain. His method of Mechanical Diagnosis Treatment is used extensively in more than 27 countries.

  1. Jason A.

    Fantastic product. Well made, comfortable material, nice strong straps to hold in place. Suits me and my wheelchair perfectly thankyou. Might even try one on the drivers seat of my car.

  2. Prue

    I love this lumbar roll. It’s firm enough for my back and stays in place with the strap.

  3. James Corlis

    Should be bit bigger/fatter, it’s too flat

  4. greg james

    good product, good service

  5. Michael L.

    Very good back support. Its working well.

  6. Quentin Digby

    I tried to source another manufacturer’s lumber support cushion on line and had to return it because it ended up just being a blow up soft cushion! Years ago I had read a book by Dr McKenzie “Mind your own back” which helped me incredibly so I tried again with an online purchase of this McKenzie Super Roll even though it had to come from NZ. It is perfect, delivered reasonably quickly and is totally fit for purpose. :-). And if you have a job where you sit for much of the day I recommend you get a copy of the Book too!

  7. Robin

    I was disappointed to find this super roll is not as long as the original.

  9. Verified Buyer

    Purchased as replacement for older model that was in regular use for 20plus years. My back appreciates the firmness of this model.

  10. Lindon Garske

    Great quality and the perfect size. Very impressed!

  11. Anonymous

    Wonderful. Really helps when sitting – makes me posture conscious too. Very easy to take from place to place.

  12. Robert Durant

    Very helpful, back feels a lot better, it will always be used by me now.

  13. Rachel

    Its early days but I purchased the Mackenzie SSR after suffering with acute back pain on a long haul flight from UK – Aus. It arrived in time for the return journey and made a big difference. Arrived without pain back to UK so can only assume better posture achieved by the roll played a part. Would recommend for flights.

  14. Genevieve Davey

    Very good quality. I like the firmness of the cushion (though not too firm, just right) and the adjustable strap is a great feature. I’ve only used it for a week but I find it is helping my lower back issues I usually have at work.

  15. Anne Mellor

  16. Jane B.

  17. Jeff R.
