A vertebral axial decompression table is operated by applying a baseline tension to the two table parts, increasing tension to about 50% of maximum above baseline, then logarithmically increasing tension to maximum tension. Thereafter, tension is linearly relaxed back to baseline. This cycle is repeated a programmed number of times to effect a therapy session. Data concerning the table operation is transmitted to allow remote monitoring and re-programming of the table.

[ What is claimed is:] [23.] A method of operating a vertebral axial decompression table to yield an automated repetition of cycles, comprising the steps of increasing a separating force from a baseline separating force to an initial force of up to 50% of a maximum separating force above the baseline separating force, increasing said separating force approximately logarithmically from about 50% of said maximum separating force above the baseline separating force to said maximum separating force, decreasing said separating force approximately according to a linear function of time back to the baseline separating force and repeating said steps of increasing and decreasing said separating force.
