Tilting inversion exerciser for independent movement of a user torso
The present invention includes a tilting inversion exerciser that includes a plastic user supporting table having a carrier frame rotatably attached to a foldable base support for allowing a user and a user supporting table to be rotated and inverted relative to the base support. More specifically, this invention relates to a typical tilting inversion exerciser having an adjustable ankle alignment system to make linear adjustments of ankle center of a user relative to hip center of a user. Further, the present invention allows for the torso section of the supporting table to slide independently of the pelvic section of the supporting table and for the torso of a user to be supported in an inclined posture by means of an inclined foam wedge.

HUMAN INVERSION AND ROTATIONAL EXERCISE
Disclosed is an apparatus for inversion exercise comprising a hang element coupled to a turntable, which is attached to a suspension framework. In embodiments, the hang element is configured to rotate with respect to the suspension framework, permitting a user to spin while hanging in either an inverted or upright position. In certain embodiments, the suspension framework may comprise a geodesic dome structure.
Spine mobility enhancement system and method of use thereof
A spinal mobility enhancement system may comprise a body inclination apparatus which may include a support platform having a platform surface for resting a person's body thereon and having a longitudinal midline. The system may also comprise a spinal mobility enhancement device movably secured on the inclination apparatus along the longitudinal midline to engage the back surface of the body of the person on the platform surface of the support platform. The mobility enhancement device may have a pressure portion configured to cause pressure to be applied to a pair of spaced regions of the back surface of the body by a pair of raised surfaces of the device. The raised surfaces may be spaced from each other in a lateral direction with an air gap being defined between the raised surfaces which corresponds to a position of the spine of the body of the person positioned on the platform.
