Abstract

Combined orthopaedic traction and exercise apparatus preferably comprising a vertical frame and at least one belt surrounds the user's torso. The belt(s) may be connected to the upper and/or lower edges of the frame by springs. The frame may also include a ladder enabling the user to bend, twist, ascend or descend to exert traction on the torso and particularly the lower back and discs. A second person may assist in twisting or pulling on the users hips.
