ABSTRACT:
A set of supportive pivots and an approach for their use permit individuals to administer a wide variety of types of motion therapy and conditioning for the spinal, rib, and skull regions. Singly, and in various combinations, the pivots support the lumbar, thoracic, cervical, cranial, and shoulder regions, when a person lies on the back or stomach on an accommodative support surface, with the spine unloaded. Most of the pivots are contoured with a longitudinal fulcrum parallel to the spine. A person lying on an individual pivot or pairs of the pivots can apply a mild pivotal traction to the spine by properly positioning the pivots and shifting weight to create traction and self mobilization. Another set of pivots can be placed under the shoulders when the person lies on the stomach, to stretch the chest musculature, to mobilize the ribs and breastbone joints, and to exercise the shoulder girdle.
