Seeking advice on a face cradle

by Eeris Kallil CMT

Aug 22, 2009

Hello-
Anyone had experience with these face cradles (EARTHLITE CARESS FACE REST, KURVE COMFORT FACEREST SYSTEM and KURVE COMFORT FACE REST PAD)?
Is there a significant difference between these and the standard ones?
Do you know of other types or ideas for people who have trouble with the face cradle pressure on face and sinuses, including myself...?

    Hmm...I've never found the face rest uncomfortable. If it's in a horribly wrong position I've had to make minor adjustments, or open the center area up a little and I'm fine. In a normal hour massage I don't like to spend less than 15-20 minutes on the back. The runny nose thing can become a problem. My clients will either suck it up or just take a quick second to blow their nose...maybe move their head to the side while I work the low back.I do like to use a fleec cover for an extra bit of comfiness for my clients. Keeps it constant between my table and the face cradle.

    Hi Eeris,

    I would say the KUR on 1-10 would be about a 8, and the standard would be about a 4. Hope this helps!

    Thanks Kathy, from both of you it doesn't sound too promising.. I will give the memory foam a try...
    Kathy- if you can rate the KUR vs the standard- what will you rate each at a scale 1-10? (Ten being ideal)

    I have a Stronglite table, arm rest and face cradle. I like what I have and yes I use a memory foam cradle for the face on occasions. It all depends on what the client is comfortable with. The arm rest has been a project though; I changed tables because the arm rest on one table was pulling the face cradle out of position. So I looked at the other options until I found the one I wanted. Hope this would help in your situation.
    Peaceful thoughts,
