The therapeutic exercise contour support (TECS), made of high density flexible foam, which can either be used on traditional bench press equipment or as a stand-alone apparatus. The TECS provides support for the neck, upper body and lower back when performing bench press exercise. The TECS has a distinctive contoured surface that elevates the spine and allows the user to have a natural scapula-humeral rhythm when performing the bench press at inclined, horizontal and declined inclinations. An adjustable ergonomic neck foam support can be attached to the main contour support to maintain proper cervical curvature. The TECS can also be used for therapy by placing it on a horizontal surface and then lying on it in a supine position. This helps the scapulae to retract as they should, which may assist in alleviating pain in the upper back due to poor posture and muscle imbalance.
