Portable apparatus for decompressing lumbar spine with localized traction

An apparatus for facilitating spinal decompression of a human body, the apparatus comprising:

• a base frame;
• a rest support shaft having first and second ends and being rotatably coupled to the base frame by the first end;
• a stability shaft for providing rigidity to the apparatus, the stability shaft being coupled to the rest support shaft and rotatably coupled to the base frame;
• first and second leg rests supported by the second end of the rest support shaft such that height of the leg rests is adjustable;
• and
• a plurality of feet coupled to the base frame and supporting the base frame by three points of contact;
• wherein the apparatus is configured such that the rest support shaft and the stability shaft can each be rotated about the base frame such that the apparatus is compacted and has increased portability.
