Abstract: Disclosed herein is a new and improved system and method for maintaining and improving the function of the human back. A first embodiment of the method may include the steps of sitting in a lumbar support chair for a first period of time with the lumbar portion of the back in a reclined neutral lordosis, placing the feet on an elevated foot support, and standing erect with the assistance of a rod for a second period of time. The lumbar support chair may include a sacral depression, a lumbar protrusion, a thoracic recession, a raised dorsal thigh support, a left thigh protrusion, and a right thigh protrusion. The elevated foot support may be capable of pivoting towards and away from the lumbar support chair and placing the feet on the elevated support may result in the knees being higher than the iliac crest.
