    Abstract: A multiaxis guidance device which is automated and programmable safely taking the place of a doctor or therapist in operating a variety of normally handheld therapeutic modalities. The device includes a base comprising either a portable base or a wall mounted swing arm. A vertical mast which automatically raises when shut off for more compact storage or to accomodate an operator exiting the device and automatically lowers for appropriate modality operating height when turned on. A horizontal boom mounted to the mast providing reciprocal longitudinal axial travel of the modalities. An arm mounted perpendicular to the boom comprising a unique double four bar mechanism and receptacle for attaching a variety of modalities which automatically compensates for varying body contours by raising and lowering vertically while simultaneously tipping and rotating around the transverse axis.
