The body suit is optionally suspended from either a hand-held frame, like a marionette, or from a floor-mounted, wall-mounted or ceiling mounted frame with a glidable support dolly. Flexible connector straps are provided between the body suit and body suit glidable support dolly and made of a material such as reinforced fabric, elastic or canvas. These connector straps are positioned in spaced-apart relation to one another about the body suit. The body suit is suspended from the seat-support leg by the connector straps that extend between the body suit and fasteners.
