ABSTRACT:
In its preferred form the invention provides adjustable stretching apparatus for stretching the back, shoulders, and/or the neck, in order to assist with postural and vertebral alignment. A preferred apparatus includes a seat, a headrest positioned above and behind the seat, and a convexly curved reasonbly hard, rigid form separating the seat and headrest. The curved form includes a longitudinal channel defined between two ridges, within which channel the spine is supported when in use. The support is preferably rigid. Provision of legs to raise the apparatus above the ground, and provision of varable head rests and seat, greatly improve the applicability of the apparatus in amelioration of a variety of postural and vertebral alignment problems.
