Abstract: A restraint, reposition, traction, and exercise device treats acute or chronic mechanical pain, particularly back, neck, hip, pelvis, shoulder, knees, and/or leg pain, and restores and/or increases range of motion in suitable users. The device may include two or more movable support structures and two or more restraints, such as straps. The restraints may be incrementally adjustable to stabilize two or more portions of a person's body, such as the back and/or pelvic regions, against the support structures in any number of three-dimensional orientations that produce a substantially pain-free position. The support structures may be moved apart to apply spinal traction to the portions of the person's body between the restraints. Exercises may be performed while in a substantially pain-free position before, during, or after spinal traction is applied. The user may reposition and restrain herself/himself in another substantially pain-free position and then re-apply spinal traction and/or perform further exercises.

Abstract: A cervical restraint, traction, and exercise device and method includes a padded restraint system for a person's head, and an adjustable support system. The head may be placed in any of a number of three dimensional orientations until a particular orientation is reached, for example a pain-free or substantially pain-free orientation, and then a restraint system engaged, restraining the head in the particular three dimensional orientation against a set of one or more pads. The system may then be adjusted to apply a traction force. The device may be used in conjunction with a second restraint system that positions and restrains the person's torso. Use of the system may enable the user to perform exercises while certain body parts, including the head and neck, are restrained in pain-free or substantially pain-free positions to obtain therapeutic effects.

Abstract: A restraint and exercise device is provided to treat acute or chronic mechanical pain, particularly lumbopelvic and/or leg pain, and to restore and/or increase range of motion in suitable users. The device is particularly useful during exercise. The device may contain a restraint, such as two straps, connected to a support structure. The straps help restrain a portion of a person's body such as the pelvic region. The portion of the person's body may be restrained in a substantially pain-free position so as to reduce the pain that would otherwise be felt during exercise.
