An apparatus for providing back traction in a water therapy environment is disclosed which includes a back support member extending vertically within a body of water such as a swimming pool including two arms extending outwardly therefrom to be placed under the arms of a user while the user's back is in contact with the back support member. A suspension apparatus lifts the back support member and both arms to a limited extent while a user is positioned within the user receiver zone defined between the arms at a slightly elevated position to provide a controllable amount of downwardly directed traction force upon the back of the user. Most of the user's weight is supported by the water and very active control of the amount of traction force can be achieved. The present apparatus is disclosed in a permanent embodiment as well as an embodiment detachably securable with respect to a swimming pool ladder.
