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.

Happy with Neck Roll
Janet Randall –
Immediately felt the difference with this tucked into my pillow while I slept.
Highly recommend
JILL –
Works well, has taken a few nights to get a really comfortable position but once sorted, it is very good
Julian Farquhar –
Its a really solid roll, and quite thin. The only way it works for me, is to put it on one side of a fairly large pillow then flip the pillow over so its covered in some softness. Or else its like sleeping on a bar. The shape. It would be useful to have some more concise instructions on ways to use it.
David Berryman –
Has been very helpful in reducing neck pain and discomfort associated with my pillow. I have tried lots of very expensive pillows with no luck, however this neck roll has provided great positioning even with a cheap pillow.

Recommended by physiotherapist (who has one of her own). Seems to help with the neck issue I had (it’s gone:) & continues to keep it ok.

Bought it along with Treat Your Own Neck. Took a little while to get used to, but I like how I feel in the morning. You can put it in any pillowcase, so it’s really nice for travelling.
Rebecca –
Absolutely love this pillow. I’m a side sleeper and I had a stiff neck forever. Tried physical therapy and it helped some but my neck still ached. I have been using this pillow for over a year and my neck ache was gone within the first month. I havent had any neck problems since and I sleep so much better. It travels easy too. It fits inside the standard carry on luggage. I won’t sleep without it.

I found this Cervical Roll to be helpful when used in conjunction with ongoing exercises from the McKenzie method of treating the back as demonstrated in the book. I am giving three stars in my rating, not because the product fails in any way, but to emphasize that the roll is not to be seen as a cure-all of itself, and it would be misguided to presume that, but it does offer assistance toward the overall program of restoring an improved position of the back during sleep.
