Thanks much for putting up your list.
Yes Fern, it is the Back Magic Adjustable Device.

I've used the PT ball. At that time, my neck & back was really, really bad. You can do a lot more with the ball, but you can't put the ball in bed with you.

I would lay a thin pillow over the board (without pillow back couldn't tolerate board) and lay that way for a while. It was a stretch to do that back then.

I used it mostly for my scapula and thoracic spine, in the mornings while I did arm stretches/exercises. I need to get back at that. it really made a difference during the day.

here's the board link:
