  • Publication number: 20200093678
    Abstract: A human spinal traction apparatus can include a platform. The platform can extend longitudinally between first and second ends. The platform can be sized, shaped, or otherwise configured to accommodate at least a portion of an average adult human user's torso resting prone upon the platform when the user's pelvis is located adjacent the first end of the platform. A pelvic brace can be positioned and oriented with respect to a first end of the platform so as to inhibit or prevent movement of the user's pelvis in a longitudinal direction along the platform when the portion of the user's torso is resting prone upon the platform. An upper body engagement member can be sized, shaped, or otherwise configured to engage a portion of an upper body of the user in a manner that is capable of allowing traction extending the user's spine in a longitudinal direction along the platform.
