DIRECTIONS FOR USE
HELPING YOUR CLIENT ONTO THE CHAIR
• 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 their right knee on the right
knee pad.
• Then make the proper adjustments to the face and arm rests for proper client comfort and positioning.
Cam

Knobs
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 their forehead until it rests comfort-
ably on the pad.
5. Have your client lean forward, letting the chair support their 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

• Adjust seat height higher for shorter 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 sternum pad so that the ridge of the sternum pad supports the cervi-
cal 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)
