ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for relieving back stress composed of a body support cushion which is attached on its bottom surface to a rigid base member. The body support cushion supports the torso of a user. Attached to the rigid base member is an elevated restraint cushion which is positioned over the rear of, or behind the body cushion. The body support cushion, along with a force exerted by the restraint cushion on the thighs and pelvis of the user, allows for the immobilization of the lumbar spine in a state of flexion or extension. In addition to relieving back stress, the device can be used to perform various exercises.
