Abstract: An adjustable bench exercising and rehabilitation apparatus has a bench pivotally attached near one end to a support structure resting on a horizontal surface. The bench has a hoisting device attached near its other end and secured to its support structure for raising and lowering the bench about its pivot point. The hoisting device is actuated by a control panel accessible to the user while reclining on the bench. At the upper end of the bench, the bench has an adjustable ankle retaining bolster to hold the user on the bench as it inclines. The upper end of the bench has an adjustable knee support device which can support its user's knees at a 135.degree. or a 90.degree. angle while on the bench.
