Abstract
A combination back support for use during stretching and/or sitting with the legs extended/not extended. The device includes a substantially rectangular lumbar back support with a multiplicity of pairs of inelastic straps configured in a first configuration to engage the feet of the user and in an alternative configuration to engage the knees of the user. When the user is in one of the various seated positions, the straps are connected to form loops which are fitted over either the feet or knees of the user. As the user applies pressure with the feet or knees, the lumbar rectangular support is pulled tight around the user's lower back, providing ample support.
