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.

Great device. Recommend for people with spine realignment
Brian L. –
I wear this every night and while not a complete cure does assist in providing comfort and easing pain, I have slept very well since using the night roll.
Verified Buyer –
This is the second time I have bought this product and as before it is extremely well made and it works. Highly recommended.
Briar W. –
It seems to be helping – but only been using it for a week or so.
Gail W. –
I’m quite small and this is a bit long for me. Tends to move around!

I found this a little too cumbersome. The fault is not with the night roll but more with me as I tend to turn over frequently while sleeping.

Veronica MacDonald –
This roll seems a bit big for me 90 cm but is helping I think in giving support to my back thanks
Megan Hughes –
I have a herniated lumbar disc that has been acutely bothering me lately, so I thought I would give this a try in addition to performing the McKenzie Method stretches. I also purchased new McKenzie lumbar rolls for my car and work chair (I used to just use rolled up towels). While the lumbar rolls definitely help, I have noticed no difference in the pain when I wake up after using the night roll. I woke up stiff. I ordinarily sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees, and sometimes with a cold pack under my lower back. I think I will just continue to use those things and do my stretches.

Great Tool. This allows the patient with the difficult / unstable derangement to sleep. We must remember that if you fix the day first with posture correction / supportive roll and reductive movements then there may not be the need for the night roll. The Night Roll Works and is great for the back problem that frequently wakes you.

I use a night roll myself due to chronic back issues. If I don’t use it at night, I can barely get out of bed in the morning. I recommend it for all of my patients who experience night pain or pain in the morning. The roll works nicely to support the natural lumbar curve of the lumbar spine in supine or when lying on your side. The tie in the front allows you to sleep on your belly too. I personally move all night long and the roll works well in all positions.

Trying to sleep became a torture, I only got in a couple hours between Ibuprofen tablets. This roll immediately eliminated the problem. I had tried various pads and rolled towels, but they did not help much. The roll is not perfect. I am at the upper limit of the waist size and I find it difficult to secure properly. I added a set of parachute fasteners and that worked better than tying a bow knot. In my case I have stopped tying the roll. I just lay it across the bed and hope I will not roll off during the night. That usually works and, when I do roll off, I usually wake enough to get back on before pain starts.
