ABSTRACT:
Variable controlled traction exercise apparatus for exercising a lumbar region of a user in a controlled manner using a variable amount of the body weight of the user to provide traction includes a frame, a handle, strap or harness, etc., for maintaining at least a portion of an upper body or appendage of the user at a generally fixed position relative to the frame, and a pivotal seat assembly which includes a knee/shin support and a foothold attached to the pivot axle. The seat assembly pivots to move between a raised, forward position to a rearward, lowered position. The user sits on the seat and engages the handle, strap or harness and applies a variable traction to the lumbar region by controlling the pivotal movement of the seat assembly relative to the handle, strap or harness.
