ABSTRACT:
A traction and stretching device that is attached to a user's bed or table. The device includes an adjustable vertical upright that is used to change the position of the traction harness relative to the user. The vertical upright is contained in a housing assembly that includes stabilizer legs. The stabilizers are intended to be placed under the mattress of the user's bed, under a bed lying on the floor, or on a table. The device is secured by an anchor strap that is wrapped around the bed frame, post, or table leg cross support. Elastic cords (it has been found that bungee cords are an excellent choice) provide the traction force, and the user can vary the strength of the force by simply changing the position of his body. The elastic cords or a rope attached to the cords are/is color coded to allow the user to accurately reproduce work loads from use to use.
