ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device for treating and exercising the human body by tilting it to different angular positions. The device has a body supporting structure that is pivotally supported on a main frame, the body supporting structure being comprised of an upper body supporting portion and a lower body supporting portion, these portions being interconnected by a central elongate frame. The upper body supporting portion includes an elongate platform. The lower body supporting portion includes a first support in the form of step members arranged to extend under each foot and form a support to limit endwise movement of the body in a downward direction when the body supporting structure is tilted so as to elevate the head of the body thereon above a horizontal position, and a second support positioned and operative to embrace each ankle area and adjacent foot instep area in a manner to form a support to limit endwise movement of the body in an opposite downward direction when the body supporting structure is tilted so as to lower the head of the body below a horizontal position. A variety of unique adjustments are provided for varying the relationship between the components of the first support and the second support in order to obtain a maximum degree of comfort during use of the device.
