ABSTRACT:
An improved headrest adapted for cradling a patient's face while medical treatment is being performed on the patient's posterior (i.e. back, shoulders, and rear of head). The U-shaped face rest/cradle is supported by four legs which are selectively lengthened to meet the situation required to provide full support to the face during the treatment. Extension legs are also provided which raise the U-shaped face rest so that the patient is able to be in a sitting position. In one embodiment of the invention a fan directs air across the patient's face to keep the patient more comfortable. Music is also communicated to the patient in some embodiments through either speakers or a vibration in the face-rest which conducts the musical sounds through the facial bones of the patient.
