1. A leg muscle, abdominal muscle, and spinal exercise device adapted for imparting curvature to a lumbar or sacral spine of a user and for manipulating the spine and intervertebral discs with decompression force, said device comprising:
a frame for placement on a floor and having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface configured to rest upon the floor, wherein the top surface and bottom surface are in a spaced apart relationship forming a hollow portion therebetween; at least one inflatable bladder carried by the top surface of the frame, the inflation of the at least one inflatable bladder directly against the user's spine causing said bladder to expand and define a substantially semi-elliptical configuration thereby manipulating and redefining the curvature in the spine; a body strap attachment passing through the frame in non-fixed relationship and partially disposed within the hollow portion for encompassing the user's thoracic-sacral spinal region and securing said frame; an elongate stirrup strap member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end attachable to the body strap attachment thereby connecting to the user's spinal region, wherein the proximal end is adapted to be disposed behind the user's spinal region; and a stirrup attachable to the stirrup strap member distal end for enabling the user's feet or legs to apply decompression force from the lower body to the spine. |
