Abstract: An apparatus for performing spinal therapy includes a base assembly having a pair of spaced-apart parallel guide posts extending upwardly from a platform. The guide posts are capable of being pivoted between a first vertical position, and a second angled position for performing different stretches. Two lift bars are slidably attached to the guide posts, with a cross bar interconnected therebetween. A mattress is disposed between the guide posts and over at least a portion of the cross bar. The mattress is reinforced using resiliently flexible slats to cause the mattress to bow while the lift bar assembly is raised.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing spinal therapy includes a base assembly having a pair of spaced-apart parallel guide posts extending upwardly from a platform. The guide posts are capable of being pivoted between a first vertical position, and a second angled position for performing different stretches. Two lift bars are slidably attached to the guide posts, with a cross bar interconnected therebetween. A cushioned pad is disposed between the guide posts and over at least a portion of the cross bar. An actuator, including a motor operably connected to the lift assembly, is used to selectively raise and lower the lift bar assembly. A cable and pulley system is incorporated into the apparatus for raising and lowering the lift bar assembly in a uniform matter.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing spinal therapy is disclosed and includes a base assembly having a pair of spaced-apart, vertically extending guide posts and at least one stabilizing foot associated with each guide post and capable of pivoting from a folded to an expanded position to stabilize the apparatus during use. A lift bar assembly is disposed between the guide posts. The lift bar assembly includes a horizontal cross bar interconnected between two lift bars which are slidably attached to the guide posts. An elongated fluid filled pad is disposed between the guide posts and over at least a portion of the horizontal cross bar. An actuator, including a motor operably connected to the lift assembly, is used to selectively raise and lower the lift bar assembly. A cable and pulley system is incorporated into the apparatus for raising and lowering the lift bar assembly in a uniform manner.
