Abstract:

A posture correction exercise device is disclosed to aid in correcting the common postural condition of kyphosis lordosis by aiding in the exercise of the spinal erectors to strengthen the erectors to pull the user's spine and torso backward into normal alignment and by exercise of the mid-trapezious, rhomboid and posterior deltoid muscles to strengthen these muscles to pull the user's shoulder blades together and force the shoulders into normal alignment. The device operates by seating the user upon a declined seat to provide increased resistance by gravity to provide increased resistance to backward movement of user's body and rotation of user's arms against tension mounted on tension back and resistance of said tension against backward movement by the user's body wherein hands of the user are positioned in supinated palms-up hand positions by grasping ball grips affixed under the rearward rotational arm positioners of the device at the exterior ends of the arm positioners.
