ABSTRACT:
A physical therapy apparatus having a padded top surface upon which a patient comfortably reclines in the face up position with the spinal area being placed in contact respective a plurality of massaging members. The massaging members are recessed within the padded top and have a massaging members extending into contact with the patients back while jointly moved along the spine with the members being individually rapidly oscillated in a circular pattern at a selected magnitude of pressure and rate of travel. At the same time, the massaging members are moved a limited length along the entire spine causing each to describe a longitudinally moving circular pattern of a spiral, with each massaging member describing a different size pattern with the member that contacts the uppermost part of the spinal column moving within a relatively small pattern while the massaging members that contact the lower part of the spinal column move within a relatively large pattern with the pattern of movement progressively increasing sequentially from one to the other end of the spinal column. The terminal ends of the massaging members each are elevated into contact with the spine and assume a curve approximating the curvature of the spinal area so that a patient reclining in a supine position will gravitate into proper contact with all of the massaging members.
