Benefits of technology

In this position all muscles of the body are relaxed; all gravity forces that compress the vertebrae or stress the muscles, in the standing or sitting positions, are eliminated; the body's own weight allows the spine to rest with anatomically correct posture. In addition, the blood circulation, due to the raised legs, is also improved.
The 8th feature is providing said set of roller embodiment for improved blood circulation and a general well-being that massages the entire back.

Problems solved by technology

The challenges of all therapeutic exercises is to perform same from an ideal resting position, to isolate and to localize muscle action.

Embodiment Construction

Referring to FIG. 1 the CTEAB can be divided in four major embodiments of parts: A) The bench frame 1; B) The frontal swinging mechanism 3; C) The pivoting mechanism 4; and D) The back roller support assembly 5.

A) The bench frame 1, standing on four saw-horse shaped legs 2, is made out of 2" square steel tubing. It accommodates the other three embodiments and the stationary parts, such as a rear padded member 6, and a front padded, anatomical, postural member 7.

B) The swinging mechanism 3 allows the localized lower back rotation exercise isolating the lower back muscles, since it is performed with legs raised and the body lying on the padded, anatomical, postural member 7. It comprises of a vertical steel channel member lined with a chrome sleeve 8, for aesthetic reasons and for easy sliding of the adjustable footrest assembly 9. At the lower end of the steel channel a plate steel offers the housing for the weight stack 11. Moving upwards, we have a foot rest assembly which comprise...

Abstract

An apparatus and a method for combiningly performing four important exercises localized to the lower back with the addition of weight resistance: a) the rotation or torsion of the lower spine and the lower back muscles; b) the bending of the spine forward and the exercising of abdominal muscles; c) the bending of the spine rearward and the exercising of the lumbar and erector muscles; d) the stretching and self-postural adjustment of the spine. The user performs the four exercises in the horizontal position with both legs in raised position. A swinging member accommodates the legs and allows the swinging, side-to-side motion of the legs. A second pivotal member helps the bending of the pelvis forward and rearward. A roller support assembly supports and massages the entire back during exercises. The user's body rests on an anatomical cushion support during exercises. The body's user experiences both the stretching of the intravertebral ligament and cartilage, while building postural awareness and self-adjusting spinal posture.
