Recover Comfortably with the FaceDownWalker

Vitrectomy recovery is challenging, especially when required to stay in a face-down position for days or weeks after surgery. The patented FaceDownWalker¼ was designed to give you mobility, comfort, and peace of mind during your recovery. This innovative device helps you stay compliant with your doctor’s face-down recovery protocol while reducing neck pain and stress.

Why Do I Need the FaceDownWalker?

After retinal surgery, such as macular hole repair or retinal detachment surgery, a gas bubble or gel is placed in your eye to hold the retina in place. Staying in a face-down position ensures proper healing. Without the right support, this position can cause:

  • Severe Neck Pain: Holding your head down for hours strains your neck and shoulders.
  • Emotional Stress: Anxiety and claustrophobia are common during recovery.
  • Complications: Failing to stay face-down can result in poor surgical outcomes or additional procedures.

The FaceDownWalkerÂź eliminates these concerns by offering a mobile, comfortable solution that keeps you compliant with your recovery plan.

STRESS-FREE MOBILITY TO MOVE ABOUT YOUR HOME

What Makes the FaceDownWalker Unique?

The FaceDownWalkerÂź is the only patented mobile vitrectomy recovery head support device available. It stands out with features such as:

  • No Pressure on Chin or Face: Unlike massage chairs or doughnut-shaped pillows, the forehead sling transfers head weight to the backpack, relieving facial and neck strain.
  • Freedom to Move: Walk, sit, or stand—this device keeps you mobile during recovery.
  • Adjustable Design: Easy-to-adjust straps ensure a perfect fit for maximum comfort.
  • Lightweight and Portable: Move around your home stress-free.

How Does It Work?

The FaceDownWalkerÂź uses a forehead pad and adjustable straps to distribute the weight of your head to a comfortable backpack. This design reduces muscle strain while allowing you to:

  • Walk Around Your Home: Stay active, relieve stiff muscles and maintain blood flow.
  • Sit in Hard-Backed Chairs: Use chairs or stools you already own, with added cushions if needed.
  • Alternate Positions: Combine with other recovery equipment, such as vitrectomy chairs or face-down pillows, for variety and comfort.

What Are Customers Saying?

“The FaceDownWalker should be considered mandatory medical equipment post-retinal surgery—period. Despite reading online about what to expect during face-down recovery, nothing prepared us for the reality. Wayde’s immediate response and next-day shipping gave us hope. My husband could walk on the deck, enjoy the sunshine, and finally find relief from face and shoulder pain. This device saved us!”

For Your Recovery, For Your Comfort, For Your Vision—Choose FaceDownWalker¼.

 

 

Most people find the recovery period torturous, much more so than the surgery itself and cannot imagine trying to sit still, trapped on a massage chair all day long for up to two weeks!  The FaceDownWalkerŸ is a unique device that provides a mobile solution for face down Vitrectomy recovery.

Designed to help my wife PHYSICALLY and EMOTIONALLY make it through her required days of face down recovery, the FaceDownWalkerŸ RELIEVES THE NECK PAIN AND SAVES YOU FROM BEING LOCKED IN ONE POSITION while sitting on a massage chair.

The FaceDownWalkerÂź gives you the option to get up every so often, change your position, allows you to move around, to keep you in charge of yourself thereby helping to make your recovery period as comfortable and bearable as possible.

Holding your head in the face-down position causes pain to build up in your neck, even when sitting in a massage chair and/or on a face-down pillow headrest.

The forehead pad on the FaceDownWalkerŸ takes all of the weight of your head off of your neck.  You may sit on most of your own kitchen chairs, hard-backed chairs, stools or ottomans.  If needed, add a cushion or two to a chair to make it more comfortable to sit on.  Plus you can move about your home.  Movement is so important to maintain proper blood flow to your muscles and to keep your emotional sense of physical control.

My wife underwent Vitrectomy surgery to repair a detached retina. For the recovery period of ten days, she was instructed to remain in a face-down position all day and night.  After two days of following this regimen of sitting in a massage chair, she was overwhelmed by the pain in her neck & back and the pain from sitting on the hard pads of the massage chair all day. Her face also became painfully tender from being on the doughnut-shaped headrest of the massage chair and face-down pillow.  Claustrophobia, severe anxiety and depression set in from being "locked" in one position all day long.  There was a genuine concern about developing blood clots in her legs because she had had a pulmonary embolism a few years earlier, leading to a collapsed lung resulting in a three-day stay in the hospital.

My response to help her in this situation was to design the patented FaceDownWalkerÂź mobile head support system.

Your head can weigh up to 11 pounds. Your neck is not designed to hold it in the face-down position for any significant length of time. The FaceDownWalkerŸ relieves the strain on your neck and the rest of your upper body muscles. The forehead sling of the FaceDownWalkerŸ comfortably transfers the weight of your head to the backpack.  There is no pressure on your cheek muscles or chin.  Unlike most doughnut-shaped head pads on massage chairs,  face-down pillows and neck support pillows, the forehead sling relaxes the muscles in your neck, face, chin and back even if you are not interested in walking around.

THIS IS YOUR EYESIGHT!

You want to stay compliant with your doctors' orders to keep your head in the face-down position to achieve the best possible outcome.
