The second arm (101) includes a second flexible portion sized to physically interact with the first limb portion of the user and/or a second limb portion of the user. The controller (110) is linkable with the first arm (102), the second arm (101) and the pitch adjuster (402). The controller (110) is configured to adjust the angle of the first arm (102) and the second arm (101). The controller (110) is configured to selectively cause a first movement of the first flexible portion of the first arm (102). The controller (110) is configured to selectively cause a second movement of the second flexible portion of the second arm (101).
