A weight brace 31 is attached to the head end of planar table 11 and extends angularly upward from that end. A pulley 32 is rotatably mounted in the extended end of weight brace 31. A head harness 35 is provided which longitudinally supports the head of patient 1 and is attached by a flexible member, such as rope, to an adjustable weight.
