ABSTRACT:
A multi-tilting movement platform that periodically and gradually tilts a platform supporting a person's body, that platform tilting periodically and gradually, side to side and head to foot; the side tilt following the head tilt and preceding the foot tilt, and so on. The apparatus enables a user to experience sensations which have been reported as relaxing, stress relieving and beneficial. The apparatus comprises a base, a platform for holding a human body thereon, an elongated teeter-totter board pivotally mounted upon the base, a drive shaft upon which is mounted a tilted plate. Low frictional rollers support the platform on the tilted plate with the platform also being pivotally supported on a first pivot axis on the teeter-totter board with the teeter-totter board being mounted on a second pivot axis on the base. The first pivot axis is oriented perpendicular to the second pivot axis. The function is that the platform does not turn as the drive shaft turns, but rather tilts multidirectionally (side to side and head to foot) as the tilted plate turns on the drive shaft contacting the rollers on the platform.
