ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a table specifically constructed and designed for use in the practice of osteopathy. Particularly, the table includes separate support surfaces for the head, chest-abdomen and hip areas wherein the spring rate for the chest-abdomen support surface is considerably less than the spring rate for the generally unyielding head and hip support surfaces. The chest-abdomen support surface also has breast receiving openings to facilitate altering the curvature of the dorsal spinal region without putting appreciable pressure on the breasts. More particularly the breast receiving openings should be spaced approximately three inches from the head end of the chest-abdomen support surface, and the chest-abdomen support surface should be constructed and arranged so that downward force thereon sufficient to move one vertebra relative to another will move the chest-abdomen support surface below the head and hip support surfaces by at least approximately two inches.
