ABSTRACT:
A device for applying localized forces to portions of the human anatomy, such as the spine, to treat physical conditions and disorders requiring some degree of mechanical manipulation of therapy, comprising an outer roll of pliable material having a resiliently deformable surface for comfortably but firmly engaging a body portion of a user in a surrounding manner; a supporting member extending within the roll and of a stiffer but bendable material so as to provide support for and wrappingly press the roll against the effected body portion; and drawing members extending from the ends of the supporting member and grippable by the user for applying the required force to the supporting member to press the roll against the body portion. The drawing members may be hand grips or a belt member to tie the roll about the user's waist. Additionally, a stabilizing member may be attached between the roll and belt member to extend between the user's legs for preventing the roll from riding up too far on the user's back when pressure is being applied by pulling on the drawing members.
