发明名称 Contoured therapeutic spinal support
摘要 A rounded, pliable, resilient spinal support with straddling contours and defining slopes which gives direct, firm-felt support and massaging therapy to the spine. The round flexing pivot (10) fits between a backrest and the recesses of the user's back, anchored in place by sacral stabilizer (12) and the sacrum. Stabilizer (12) is thin for comfort and allows defining slope (14) to push downward against the sacrum, while the thicker lumbar arch support (16) pushes in against the lumbar region of the back, and defining slope (18) pushes upward against the lower thoracic region of the back. The thin, tapered thoracic stabilizer (20) allows the shoulders to push against the backrest and to anchor my support in place at the upper end. This interrelated pushing encourages the "S"-shape curvature of the spine desired for good posture. As the defining slopes are pushing and the two end stabilizers are being pushed, the straddling contours of spinous process stabilizer (26) and transverse process stabilizers (22) are fitted snugly against the vertebrae. This provides a firm feeling of security so that the muscles can relax, relieving any spasm. It also allows decompression of the vertebral column by giving direct, underneath support. My support also massages the spine. Each unforgiving bone makes a dimple in the three process stabilizers causing a bulging of the support material into the gaps between the bones. This bulging fills the gaps and massages the softer tissue between and among the bones as the user makes any movement.
