The Mckenzie Method Story
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.
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.

I have previously used the back and neck books in this series, as advised by a physiotherapist years ago, with good results. I was pleased to see the hip version recently as I have osteoarthritis of my left hip with moderate pain and reduced mobility. Unfortunately these exercises have done absolutely nothing for my pain or range of movement. I find them difficult and somewhat painful to perform, so I presume they are just not for me or my particular problem.

Had left hip pain brought on by heavy boxes I carried improperly. Pain interrupted my sleep and made climbing steps a challenge. I am a RN snd bought this book and it has been a lifesaver!!!! This has a very thorough approach and if you follow the simple exercises you will make great strides if you are one his questionnaire says will benefit. I found when I got very serious about following a strict regimen to perform the exercises, I started seeing positive results.

Heal Your Own Neck exercises make almost every headache go away. So when I couldn’t move my leg for the pain in my groin, I tried this book. It worked! I like that it has some questions to help decide if it is a hip problem or something else.

I’d already borrowed Treat Your Own Neck from a friend. I refused to give it back. It’s that good. Recently, I looked to see if the same book may have been made for the hips. So grateful that it was. Such simple exercises for maximum relief. The BEST!!

Like the other “Treat Your Own” books, this has the most practical approach to understanding and managing your joint issues. I have use the “…Back” and “…Neck” books to great success and this one doesn’t disappoint.
