Original McKenzie® CPM Roll™

The Original McKenzie® CPM Roll™ combines lumbar support with Continuous Passive Motion (CPM). The CPM Roll contains a BackCycler™, which slowly inflates and deflates every 40 seconds flexing your spine. This continuous gentle flexing of the spine begins the process of circulating fluid into and out of the intervertebral discs. The benefits of this motion are increased back flexibility, reduced lower back muscle fatigue and improved back comfort. The spine needs movement to maintain or restore its full range of motion.

The CPM Roll is portable and is powered by a cigarette lighter power adapter for use in the car. An optional AC adapter allows use at home or work. (only available in the continental U.S.)
