Abstract

A combination chaise lounge and massage table is easily and quickly convertible from one configuration into the other. A hollow pedestal provides the support for the lounge and the table and a storage space for the miscellaneous attachments that are used with the combination article of furniture. In the chaise lounge configuration, a plurality of elongate bias members that end in handles are removably mounted to the front end of the lounge and to the seat back so that numerous exercises may be performed. The seat and seat back of the lounge are hingedly mounted to one another and the seat back is hingedly mounted to the pedestal to enable facile positioning of the seat and seat back in a common plane. One end of the pedestal is elevated with respect to the other end so that the massage table is inclined from the horizontal to enhance its beneficial aspects.
