The present invention resides in an exercise apparatus for individuals with chronic back pain. The apparatus comprises an elongated base frame that is rectangular in configuration and has a U-shaped front portion and a T-shaped back portion. An inverted Y-shaped, lower support shaft having three members with rectangular configurations is removably attached to the base frame. An elongated, rectangular shaped upper support shaft attached to an angle adjustment cam is attached to the inverted Y-shaped lower support shaft with rotation and locking means. The upper support shaft contains, near the bottom portion thereof, a restraint stand having foot boards and lower extremity restraint. The upper support shaft is hollow on the inside and is slidably connected to a telescoping pelvic restraint stand, which contains hip pads, pelvic restraints and bicycle like handle bars near the top portion thereof. The upper support shaft also contains locking and stabilizing means for securing the telescoping pelvic restraint stand.
