摘要： An apparatus is provided for therapeutic exercising of the scapula related muscles of a body. A scapula harness fits tightly over a shoulder and an upper arm of the body and extends over a breast and an opposing scapula area of the body. The harness has a plurality of attachment straps, each of which has a downwardly extending attachment end. A plurality of urging springs are each connected to one of the attachment ends and establish a variable tension force to each attachment strap. A plurality of tensioning straps are each connected at one end to one of the urging springs so that a force applied to any one of the tensioning straps causes one of the urging springs to extend. A seat has a horizontal, upward facing surface for supporting the body in a seated position, a peripheral edge, and at least one holding clamp for holding the straps in fixed positions and under a desired tension. The tension force is transferred by the attachment strap through the harness to the scapular muscles, thereby providing resistance to upward, forward, and rearward motion of the scapula muscles during exercising. A colinear tensioning strap and an urging spring attached to the tensioning strap may be further included for causing a resistance vector in a horizontal plane so that the scapular related muscles may be exercised by moving the body so that the harness moves downwardly and posteriorly.
