Headrest
The headrest adjusts to three positions: flat, half-raised or fully
raised. It should be adjusted on an individual basis to ensure
neck and shoulders are comfortable and tension-free when
lying supine.
In exercises where the hips are lifted higher than the shoulders,
headrest should be flat – even when beginning from a supine
position. In some exercises it is raised to provide a brace for
the feet.
Adjusting the Headrest
With no weight on headrest, lift it and hinge adjustment block

to rest securely onto wooden edge of carriage.
