Apparatus (2) for therapeutically exercising (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) of the human body (14), which apparatus (2) comprises a non-rotating support portion (16) for the human body (14), tilt means (18) for tilting the support portion (16), drive means (20) for rotating the tilt means (18) so that the support portion (16) undulates in a manner controlled by the tilt means (18), and control means (24) for controlling operation of the apparatus (2), characterised in that the tilt means (18) comprises at least two rollers (34, 36: 40, 42), each roller being mounted on a mounting member (114, 116, 118, 120) such that each roller rolls around the underside of the support portion (16) when the drive means (20) rotates the tilt means (18), at least two of the rollers (34, 36: 40, 42) being of a different radial size to each other and/or the mounting members (114, 116, 118, 120) for at least two of the rollers being of a different axial length to each other, whereby the tilt means (18) causes the undulation of the support portion (16) and thereby enables the parts of the human body on the support portion (16) to be exercised.
