Portable headrest

A collapsible portable headrest extends from a bed. A base fits between the mattress and box spring of a bed. An outer end of the base is connected by hinged clamps to lower ends of legs. Upper ends of legs are connected by locking hinges to inner ends of a headrest top. An opening or space for breathing is provided in cushions or a cushion on the top. Telescoping tubes with clamps adjust to mattress thickness and compact storage requirements. Clamping or locking hinges at the joints allow folding the elements flat for carrying or storing. The user rests on the bed and slides forward, resting the head with the nose in the middle of the curved horseshoe-shaped padded headrest. This position makes it possible for a masseur to massage the back while standing beside or in front of the prone subject.

Apparatus for effecting traction on the spine and method of using the same

An apparatus for effecting spinal traction on a patient includes a tub containing liquid in which a patient, buoyantly supported by a floatation device, can float in a generally upright position in a state of buoyant equilibrium. The level of the liquid in the tub can be varied, which effects a variation on a traction force acting on the patient as the floatation device seeks new positions of buoyant equilibrium in response to the change in liquid level. The traction force may be generated by one or more weighted devices worn on the body of the patient or by a harness attached to the patient and secured within the tub to resist upward movement of the patient when the liquid level rises in the tub. The liquid level within the tub is varied by a liquid level varying apparatus associated with the tub which operates generally by displacing a volume of liquid within the tub to vary the level of the liquid by an amount corresponding to the volume of displaced liquid. A method for effecting spinal traction includes floating a patient in a vessel of water, applying a body-tensioning force to the patient's body, and raising and lowering the level of liquid in the vessel to effect variations in the body-tensioning force as the patient's floating body seeks a new position of buoyant equilibrium.

Spine tensioning support chair

A chair has two independent body supports which move in similar rotation and inverse elevation to one another to change from a chair configuration, one support higher than the other, to a spine tensioning apparatus, supports near equal in elevation. Preferably body supports are spaced apart from one another such that the only interconnecting human link between the two supports, when in a near equal elevation configuration, is the human spine. The spine, in this configuration is then subjected to similar forces as a simple beam supported by two separate forces, tension, compression, shear and moment. The spine is aided by and through tension and compression and increased blood flow and afforded the ability for spinal muscle, nerve and soft tissue development and maintenance. The supports, independent of each other, comprise an upper body support and a lower body support and allow an individual's body to practice spine enhancement, development, & or traction, laying in any combination of, or alternately, face up, face down, or on either left or right side.
