Claim 5:
6. A portable and foldable passive lumbar spine elongation device comprising:
a front portion having opposing front legs having a length, a curved pelvic support, a torso support and a head support positioned between the opposing legs, the head support being configured to physically contact and support the face of a user, the curved pelvic support and the torso support being separated by a first space, the torso support being separated from the head support by a second space, the first space configured to receive an abdomen of a user;
a rear portion having opposing rear legs having a length and being pivotally connected to the front portion and a leg support connecting the opposing rear legs, the length of the front legs being longer than the length of the rear legs;
an adjustment device having one end connected to the front portion and an opposing end connected to the rear portion, the adjustment device being configured to control and limit the pivotal movement of the front legs with respect to the rear legs such that a variable predetermined apex angle B in a range of 80-100 degrees is formed between the front legs and the rear legs, the front portion, the rear portion and the predetermined apex angle cooperate with each other to create a gentle controlled traction along the lumber spine using gravity;
an angle A at which the front legs contact a ground surface; and
an angle C at which the rear legs contact the ground surface,
wherein a combined total of angles A and C will be in a range of 100-80 degrees based on the variable apex angle B.
