Long stretches sitting - in the car, at a desk, resting in a chair - are part of daily life, and steady lower-back support makes them more comfortable, which matters when posture and back comfort shift with Parkinson’s. We chose this one because it does double duty: it’s a proper lumbar support roll that straps securely to almost any seat, and the two gel packs let you add warmth or cooling whenever you’d like it. The washable cover is a practical touch for something used every day.
"The Vive Ice Lumbar Roll adds firm lower-back support to any chair, car seat, or office seat, with the option of hot or cold therapy built in. The high-density foam roll follows the natural curve of the lower spine to support your posture while seated, and a 32” adjustable strap with a quick-release buckle secures it to almost any seat — or around the waist.
Two Arctic Flex gel packs slip into a full-length pouch in the cover, so you can add cold from the freezer or warmth from the microwave whenever you want it. The gel stays flexible when frozen and conforms to the lower back.
The breathable mesh cover unzips and is machine washable; the foam roll spot-cleans with a damp cloth. The roll measures 12” long x 5.5” in diameter. Includes the foam roll, mesh cover, and two gel packs. Do not apply hot or cold therapy for longer than 15–20 minutes at a time.
How to Cool Gel Packs:
Place each gel pack flat in the freezer for at least 2 hours
