A rotational resistance system is described herein, the system being adapted for a user so as to facilitate exercise of muscles throughout upper and lower extremities of the user's body. The system may include a pair of separate rotational resistance devices in side-by-side relation for placement of a corresponding hand or foot of a user thereon. Each device may further include a base adapted for placement on a floor or planar surface, a hollow foot support structure on the base, a top surface of which is inclined at an upward angle relative to horizontal as taken from the rear of the foot support structure to the front of the foot support structure, and a rotatable foot plate contained in and serving as part of the top surface of the foot support structure, the foot plate connected to a means for providing resistance and release of resistance.

1. A rotational resistance system adapted for a user so as to facilitate exercise of muscles throughout upper and lower extremities of the user's body, comprising: a pair of separate rotational resistance devices in side-by-side relation for placement of a corresponding hand or foot of a user thereon, each device including: a base adapted for placement on a floor or planar surface,a hollow foot support structure on the base, a top surface of which is inclined at an upward angle relative to horizontal as taken from the rear of the foot support structure to the front of the foot support structure, anda rotatable foot plate contained in and serving as part of the top surface of the foot support structure, the foot plate connected to a means for providing resistance and release of resistance. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for providing resistance and release of resistance is adapted to be selectively varied by a user. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein device does not include a back support attached to the base or an elevated foot support plate attached to the base at a position forward of the rotatable foot plate. 4. The device system of claim 1, further comprising means for vibrating the foot plate. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the angle of inclination is between 6 and 26 degrees from horizontal. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the angle of inclination is 11 degrees from horizontal. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein device does not include handrails mounted to the base. 8. A system, comprising: a pair of separate rotational resistance devices in side-by-side relation for placement of a corresponding hand or foot of a user thereon, each device including: a foot support structure supported on a planar surface, a top surface of which is inclined at an upward angle relative to horizontal as taken from the rear of the foot support structure to the front of the foot support structure, anda rotatable foot plate serving as part of the top surface and adapted to resist rotation of a user's toot or hand thereon during exercise protocols to exercise muscles throughout upper and lower extremities of the user's body, and means for providing resistance to rotation of the foot plate and release of resistance. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the angle of inclination is at leas 6 degrees from horizontal. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein device does not include handrails attached thereto. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein device does not include a back support attached thereto. 12. The system of claim 8, wherein resistance to rotation and release of resistance is adapted to be selectively varied by a user. 13. The system of claim 8, wherein the means for providing resistance to rotation and release of resistance further includes: a turntable connected to each foot plate,a spring actuator attached to each turntable, anda spring adapted to impart resistance to rotation of a corresponding foot plate, rotation of the turntable actuating the spring actuator so as to engage the spring and generate tension. 14. The system of claim 13, further comprising a tension indicator with indicator window that includes visual increment indicia indicating a number relative to the tension imparted by the spring. 15. The system of claim 8, further comprising means for vibrating the foot plate. 16. A system adapted to provide rotational resistance to a user during exercise, the user having under active and overactive muscles, the system comprising: a pair of separate rotational resistance devices in side-by-side relation for placement of a corresponding hand or foot of a user thereon, each device including: a base, andat least one rotatable foot plate supported on the base having a top surface which is inclined at an upward angle relative to horizontal as taken from a rear of the foot support plate to a front of the foot support plate and adapted to resist rotation of user's foot or hand thereon during exercise protocols for exercising muscles throughout upper and lower extremities of the user's body, exercise thereon by the user activating the under active muscles while releasing the overactive muscles so as to achieve myofascial balance between the under active and overactive muscles, and means for providing resistance to rotation of the foot plate and release of resistance. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the means for providing resistance to rotation and release of resistance further includes: a turntable connected to each foot plate,a spring actuator attached to each turntable, anda spring adapted to impart resistance to rotation of a corresponding foot plate, rotation of the turntable actuating the spring actuator so as to engage the spring and generate tension. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein resistance to rotation and release of resistance is adapted to be selectively varied by user.
