A rounded, pliable, resilient spinal support with straddling contours and defining slopes which gives direct, firm-felt support and massaging therapy to the spine. The round flexing pivot (10) fits between a backrest and the recesses of the user's back, anchored in place by sacral stabilizer (12) and the sacrum. Stabilizer (12) is thin for comfort and allows defining slope (14) to push downward against the sacrum, while the thicker lumbar arch support (16) pushes in against the lumbar region of the back, and defining slope (18) pushes upward against the lower thoracic region of the back. The thin, tapered thoracic stabilizer (20) allows the shoulders to push against the backrest and to anchor my support in place at the upper end. This interrelated pushing encourages the 'S'-shape curvature of the spine desired for good posture. As the defining slopes are pushing and the two end stabilizers are being pushed, the straddling contours of spinous process stabilizer (26) and transverse process stabilizers (22) are fitted snugly against the vertebrae. This provides a firm feeling of security so that the muscles can relax, relieving any spasm. It also allows decompression of the vertebral column by giving direct, underneath support. My support also massages the spine. Each unforgiving bone makes a dimple in the three process stabilizers causing a bulging of the support material into the gaps between the bones. This bulging fills the gaps and massages the softer tissue between and among the bones as the user makes any movement.

Contoured therapeutic spinal support

A body garment (FIG. 3) to which is attached extra vertebrae muscles (FIG. 1) comprised of: two half-rounds (4) containing pliable material fastened to a less pliable shroud (2). The shroud 2 captures the two half-rounds 4, thus making a two body contact on either side of the spinous process of the concave portion of the human back. Thus, making pressure contact with the erector spinae muscles on either side of the spinous process and on the outside of the transverse process, and on both sides of the spinous process. The erector spinae muscles and other muscles of the vertebral column help in lifting. However, their primary function is to protect the vertebrae bones, disks, and ligaments from slippage of a single vertebra, thereby preventing injuries to the surrounding ligaments and muscles. The body garment (FIG. 3) fasteners control body garment (FIG. 3) pressure to specific areas of the upper body. Fastening the waist fastener (8) and the upper abdominal fastener (10) will control body garment (FIG. 3) pressure to the extra vertebrae muscles (FIG. 1) and the lumbar back and abdominal muscles when lifting normal loads. For heavy lifting, the upper garment (12) and buttocks (14) fasteners are also used. Fasteners (8) (10) (12) are body wrap fasteners; buttocks fastener (14) is used for cupping the body garment (FIG. 3) for heavy lifting. The cupping of the body garment (FIG. 3) provides vertical vertebrae pressure support that increases as the wearer bends to lift. When fastening the body garment for heavy lifting, the voids in support to the vertebrae will be filled with bulk support pressure by the extra vertebrae muscles (FIG. 1), even when twisting and bending awkwardly. The extra vertebrae muscles (FIG. 1) will give vertical support to the vertebral column. The body garment will give the upper body muscles of the back and abdomen pressure support controlled by the fasteners.
