Claim 17:
18. A programmable multi-therapy inversion table, comprising:
a supporting frame;
a back rest rotatably coupled to said supporting frame and configured to support a back of a user,
wherein said back rest comprises
a superior end closest to a head of said user, and
an inferior end closest to feet of said user;

wherein said back rest is configured to rotate between
an upright position wherein said superior end is vertically higher than said inferior end, and
an inverted position wherein said superior end is vertically lower than said inferior end;

a table tilt actuator configured to rotate said back rest between said upright position and said inverted position;
one or more moving back massage elements moveably coupled to said back rest, each moving back massage element of said one or more moving back massage elements comprising
a back vibrating element configured to apply vibration to said back of said user; and
a back massage element position actuator configured to move said back vibrating element along a track in or coupled to said back rest to position said back vibrating element at multiple locations of said back of said user;

a head and neck support coupled to said back rest, wherein said head and neck support comprises
a planar surface along a horizontal axis, comprising
a neck traction actuator configured to move said head and neck support away from said back rest; and
one or more moving neck massage elements moveably coupled to said head and neck support, each moving neck massage element of said one or more moving neck massage elements comprising
a neck vibrating element configured to apply vibration to a neck of said user; and
a neck massage element position actuator configured to move said neck vibrating element along a track in or coupled to said head and neck support to position said neck vibrating element at multiple locations of said neck of said user,
wherein said track, of each of said one or more moving neck massage elements, in or coupled to said head and neck support runs along a superior-to-inferior axis parallel to said horizontal axis;

a leg support coupled to said back rest, comprising a leg traction actuator configured to move said leg support away from said back rest;
a heating pad coupled to said back rest;
a processor configured to set or modify one or more settings of one or more of said table tilt actuator, said one or more moving back massage elements, said one or more moving neck massage elements, said neck traction actuator, said leg traction actuator, said heating pad; and,
a stored program configured to execute on said processor to set or modify said one or more settings;
wherein
said track in or coupled to said head and neck support comprises a slot in said head and neck support,
said one or more moving neck massage elements comprise two moving neck massage elements; and,
the track associated with a first moving neck massage element of said two moving neck massage elements is substantially parallel to the track associated with a second moving neck massage element of said two moving neck massage elements;

wherein one or more of
said back vibrating element of said each moving back massage element of said one or more moving back massage elements, and
said neck vibrating element of said each moving neck massage element of said one or more moving neck massage elements,
is configured to provide heat;

wherein said stored program is further configured to execute on said processor to set or modify a pitch angle of said programmable multi-therapy inversion table, such that said stored program statically or dynamically adjust said pitch angle to a desired angle over a desired time period.
