Abstract
Spinal exercising apparatus, also referred to as a spinal exercising table, is arranged to support a person, while he or she applies forces, via his or her head, as his or her body is actively supported on an angularly adjustable table, movably positioned and then selectively secured on a frame to then be above floor level. Pivotally secured to the frame adjacent an end of the table is a resistive force mechanism to receive his or her head applied forces and to then provide a substantially uniform opposing force throughout a selected range of arcuate exercising motions, which result in a person being able to completely and thoroughly exercise his or her entire spine. Optionally, other apparatus is secured to the frame and/or table to serve the person in performing other exercises, to accomplish, if desired, a total body workout.
