ABSTRACT:
The invention provides for a therapeutic apparatus which includes a platform on which a person can be supported in a reclining position, and a support on which the platform is pivotally supported. The platform can pivot about a pivot axis between one extreme position in which a person on the platform is in a substantially upright standing position and another extreme position in which the person on the platform is in a substantially upright inverted position. The apparatus includes adjustment means by means of which the platform can be adjusted in at least two directions with respect to the platform to thereby adjust the position of the center of gravity of the platform and its load with respect to the fulcrum. The adjustment means for adjusting the platform in at least one direction effects infinite angular adjustment of the platform.
