Abstract

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. The apparatus is also applicable to retrofitting existing chairs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 ) A spine tensioning dual floating body support comprising: 
 A space between a 1 st and 2nd floating body support,    said space provides an unsupported midsection of an occupant in said space,    said space, said 1 st and 2nd floating body supports, aide the spine by and through tension, compression and increased blood flow in addition to providing said occupant the ability for spinal muscle, nerve and soft tissue development and maintenance and,    increase spinal mobility, flexibility and health of said occupant in said space between said 1st and 2nd floating body supports.    
   
   
       2 ) A spine tensioning dual floating body support comprising: 
 A space defined between a 1 st and 2nd floating body support,    said space provides an unsupported posterior of an occupant in said space, said space, said 1 st and 2nd floating body supports, aide the spine by and through tension, compression and increased blood flow in addition to providing said occupant the ability, for spinal muscle, nerve and soft tissue development and maintenance and,    increase spinal mobility, flexibility and health of said occupant in said space between said 1 st and 2nd floating body supports.    
   
   
       3 ) A spine tensioning dual body support comprising: 
 A space defined between a 1 st and 2nd floating body support,    said space provides an unsupported midsection of an occupant in said space,    A means to rotate said 1 st and 2nd floating body supports,    said space, said 1 st and 2nd floating body supports, aide the spine by and through tension, compression and increased blood flow in addition to providing said occupant the ability for spinal muscle, nerve and soft tissue development and maintenance and,    increase spinal mobility, flexibility and health of said occupant in said space between said 1st and 2nd floating body supports.    
   
   
       4 ) A spine tensioning dual body float support according to  claim 3  wherein: 
 said floating body supports to move in two orthogonal planes.    
   
   
       5 ) A spine tensioning dual body float support according to  claim 3  wherein: 
 said space is adjustable.
