A user-actuated dynamic tension traction device is disclosed. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a traction device passively applies traction force to a user through the use of one or more rubber or elastic resistance bands coupled to a neck collar worn by the user. The resistance bands are anchored to a stationary surface (in a preferred embodiment a door). Traction is passively applied to the user, rather than actively, as the user moves his or her body away from the surface to which the resistance bands are anchored. As the user moves backward and stretches the resistance bands, tension is incrementally exerted by the resistance bands on the neck collar, and traction is gradually applied to the user's spine.
