Abstract

An apparatus and method directed to an exercise and stretching therapy bar is disclosed herein. The apparatus allows an individual to provide physical therapy treatment to himself or herself without the aid of a therapist or another individual. The apparatus helps release muscle tension helping to keep the body balanced and preventing future injuries. In an embodiment, the apparatus is generally comprised of a main body having a cylindrical bar shape. Said main body having two raised portions separated by sufficient space to allow the user's vertebral column to be positioned within those two raised portions and said main body not having any meaningful force applied to the user's vertebral column. In another embodiment the main body is also comprised of handle portions for assisting the user in gripping the apparatus while in use.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise and stretching therapy apparatus comprising:
 a main body having at least two raised portions separated by sufficient space to allow for a user's vertebral column to be positioned within the cavity of said raised portions;   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said main body further comprising at least one handle portion. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said main body further comprising two handle portions. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said main body further comprises each said handle portion having a gripping portion. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said main body further comprises each said handle portion having a gripping portion. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said gripping portion is positioned at the distal end of said handle portion. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said gripping portion is positioned at the distal end of said handle portion. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said main body further comprises each said handle portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said main body further comprises each said handle portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said main body further comprises each said gripping portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said main body further comprises each said gripping portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said main body further comprises each said gripping portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said main body further comprises each said gripping portion ending with an end stop portion. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said main body further comprises each said raised portion having a rub portion. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said main body further comprises each said raised portion having a rub portion. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said main body further comprises each said raised portion having a rub portion. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said main body further comprises each said raised portion having a rub portion. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein said rub portion are semi, circles. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein said rub portion are spikes. 
     
     
         20 . An exercise and stretching therapy apparatus comprising:
 a main body having at least two raised portions separated by sufficient space to allow for a user's vertebral column to be positioned within the cavity of said raised portions; and wherein said main body further comprising two handle portions with each said handle portions having a gripping portion and said gripping portions are positioned at the distal ends of said handle portion with each said gripping portion ending with an end stop portion; and wherein said main body further comprises each said raised portion having a rub portion which are nubs, semi circles, or spikes.
