An individually fitted apparatus for, and method of supporting an individual by, a tensile arc and bridge body support, comprising in combination; A fitted tubular frame outlining the immediate periphery of each supported body portion and attached to the frame is a fabric that is deeply and tightly contoured to the three-dimensional profile of the body portions. The fabric extends down a side of each body portion curves and passes under, and up to the other side. A contoured rigid member is attached to the fabric that opposes a planar or concave surface of the body portions, such as the back of the torso. By suspending the individual in this support, the tensile fabric applies pressure to the convex curves of the body portions and the contoured bridge applies pressure to the planar or concave surfaces. The support surface area can be increased substantially by using this support and the support pressure would drop accordingly.
