ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for transferring stress from the lumbar spine to a rib cage of a person is disclosed. The device (10) includes support members (60 and 61) for engaging and support the person below a rib cage. The supports bars (40 and 41) support the support members (60 and 61). The support bars are positioned substantially below the support members. A seat member (30) is positioned below the support members (60 and 61). The person assumes a seating position on the seat member (30) and is also supported thereby. The amount of support provided the person by the seat member and the support member may be varied. In addition, the invention includes a method of transferring stress utilizing the device (10). The device (10) may also provide the additional feature to gain physically beneficial exercise in conjunction with gravity traction.
