Exercise apparatus and method of physiotherapy

Abstract

An improved method of physiotherapy includes providing a lever arm rotatable about a vertical axis over an exercise equipment, a user engaging the lever arm while using the exercise equipment, and loading muscles of a user with a torque acting substantially about the vertical axis from the user rotating the lever arm about the vertical axis. The lever arm can be biased in a clockwise direction or a counter-clockwise direction relative to the lever arm. The vertical axis can be aligned with a longitudinal axis of the user or offset therefrom.
