It features a foam density of 28kg/m 3 and a foam hardness of 110 Newtons, for robust and dynamic support. However, budget constraints make it impossible for many authorities to provide this sort of equipment so it is important to ask what you may be entitled to in your area. 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.It was decided, for example, not to use memory foam which is too dependent on the user's temperature. The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll is a lumbar support which helps to prevent and reduce lower back discomfort caused by long periods of sitting in an unsupportive chair.

This easily portable Semi Circular designed Lumbar Roll with flat back is ideal for use on meeting chairs, office home or car. Since many chairs do not support the natural shape of the spine, they can encourage sitters to adopt hunched or bent positions, which only make this strain worse.A more advanced and firm version of the Original McKenzie lumbar rolls, the Original Mckenzie Super Lumbar Roll has a medium hard back pad to treat and prevent lower back pain, as well as improve posture. However, with consistent use, you'll find that it greatly improves your sitting experience and helps alleviate any existing back discomfort. The seat height of a well-used older chair with softer cushions is likely to be significantly lower. A McKenzie Super Lumbar Roll is ideal for anyone who experiences back discomfort from sitting in straight backed chairs or chairs which do not provide proper ergonomic support to their spine, and who has found more moderate support is insufficient or uncomfortable.

These chairs are more expensive than standard chairs and therefore are likely to be used only by people who have complex seating needs and who require additional postural support.It is essential that anybody who has complex seating needs should be assessed by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist who will be able to identify what the particular difficulties are and what might be the best solution. When sitting - especially for long periods, it's important that your lower back has adequate support to reduce the risk of strain and back pain. Any straps or harnesses must be used in line with any instructions or guidance given by the manufacturer or therapist.
