Abstract
A spine tensioning apparatus comprising a back support that supports only the back, but not the posterior, and a leg support having an inverted V cross section spaced apart from and aligned with the back support. Preferably the back support and the leg support are mounted on vertical risers attached to a horizontal base. The vertical risers can be posiitoned so that when a user reclines in the apparatus, the user's back and legs, but not the posterior, are supported, thereby creating tension along the spine.
