An apparatus for creating traction in a user back and is securable to an apparatus support structure having an apparatus engaging rim and an apparatus upright support face includes an elongate suspension member having a first member end and a second member end, a hook structure extending from the first member end in a first lateral direction for engaging the engaging rim, a support arm secured to and extending from the suspension member in a second lateral direction substantially opposite from the first lateral direction to project away from the upright support face, so that downward loading on the arm member causes the suspension member to pivot on the hook structure to abut and find support against the upright support face. A method of performing traction exercises using the above-described apparatus includes the steps of hooking two of the suspension members over an elevated portion of the support structure so that the members are laterally spaced apart from each other, placing the user back against the support structure between the suspension members, raising the user arms over and around the support arms and bending and transferring user weight from the user legs to the support arms, thereby causing the weight of the user torso and user legs to pull downward on the user spine to create traction.
