Pro Tip Of The Month
The use of a lumbar roll significantly reduces the stress and strain on your low back when sitting. Here are some step-by-step instructions for using a lumbar roll properly. 1 . Be sure you are sitting all the way back in your chair with your butt touching the back of the chair. 2. Insert your lumbar roll horizontally into the small of your back (also known as your “lordosis”, this is the inwardly curved portion of your low back). 3. The lumbar roll should comfortably support your low back and allow you to sit up tall and avoid slouching. If properly placed, the lumbar roll should allow you to relax your back muscles. 4. You may need to re-adjust the position of your lumbar roll occasionally. We recommend not sitting more than 30 minutes at a time without taking a standing/walking break. NOTE: There are multiple options for size, shape, and density of lumbar rolls. They even make inflatable lumbar rolls that are great for travel. Overall, our favorite brand is the McKenzie line of lumbar rolls. If you need help with choosing the correct size and shape for you, GIVE US A CALL… we can help!
