Oakworks QuickLock™ Face Rest has virtually unlimited positioning.
1. Show your client how to get on the chair.
2. Release the cam locks and knobs on the face rest. (Fig.1)
3. Ask your client to sit down and hold onto the face rest on the Hook and Loop
Fastener on the sides of the “U” tube. (Fig.2)
4. Tell your client to pull the face rest toward his/her forehead until it rests comfort-
ably on the pad.
5. Have your client lean forward, letting the chair support his/her weight until in a
relaxed position.
6. Lock the cam locks first and then tighten the knobs.
• Do not over tighten the knobs - too much force may cause stripping. (Fig.3)
• The face rest can be moved up and down after loosening the knobs and
angled after releasing the cam locks.
• The face rest platform cam locks are reversible

FACE REST ADJUSTMENTS FOR OPTIMAL CLIENT COMFORT
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
• Have your client stand on the right side of the chair and grasp the chair frame just above the chest pad for support.
• Have the client straddle the seat and place left knee on the left knee pad (farthest away from their body).
• Your client can then gradually begin to sit down. Once seated, the client can put right knee on the right knee pad.
• You can then make the proper adjustments to the face and arm rests for proper client comfort and positioning.
HELPING YOUR CLIENT ONTO THE CHAIR
• Adjust seat height higher for those short clients who are having trouble getting
comfortably into the face rest.
• Reduce knee flexion by raising the seat and the chair height. Some clients may
find it more comfortable to put their feet flat on the floor.
• Short, heavy or large-breasted clients will be more comfortable with the face rest
moved toward them, over the chest pad.
• The Sternum Pad (Fig. 4) helps you maximize the effects of treatments.
Position the sternum pad vertically when doing shoulder work or for large-
breasted clients. Position the sternum pad horizontally with the ridge just below
the breasts for pregnant women.
• Use the sternum pad for supporting the cervical region. Replace the face-rest
pad with the sternum pad. Release the cam locks and knobs, and move the ster-
num pad so that the ridge of the sternum pad supports the cervical spine. You may
have to lower the seat or provide a foot stool for shorter clients.
• To seat clients backwards in chair, turn the face pad around so that the curve of
the “U” supports your client’s neck and lower the seat so that it is parallel to the
floor. (Fig. 5)
