ABSTRACT:
A body stretching and decompression system for use on a horizontal surface is disclosed. The system includes a frame having first and second portions adjustably connected together. A pair of hand grips are secured to the second portion of the frame. The system also includes a cuff assembly to be secured to a user, a rollable positioning member for allowing a user to move on the horizontal surface in a direction away from the first portion of the frame, and a resilient coupling resiliently attaching the first portion of said frame to the cuff assembly. When the cuff assembly is secured to a user and the user is disposed on the positioning member in an initial position with respect to the first portion of the frame, the user may apply a user-selected amount of traction to the user's skeletal system by grasping the hand grips and moving the user's body to an extended position. The amount of traction is generally proportional to the distance between the initial and extended positions.
