ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method useful for urging alignment of the spinal vertebrae of a user includes using a board member having a lengthwise axis and a top surface with a channel formed therein that is generally parallel to the lengthwise axis and with sufficient length and depth to receive the spinal vertebrae of a user therein. The board member has a first and a second convex portion formed generally parallel and symmetric to and proximate the channel. A first and a second concave portion are formed in the board member generally parallel and symmetric to and distal from the channel. The convex and concave portions have sufficient curvature for applying pressure to the skeletal structure of the rib cage of a user to urge the spinal vertebrae of the user into alignment in the channel when the user lies supine on the board top surface.
