3. The patient support therapeutic bed of claim 1 , wherein the head restraint independently positionable relative to the patient support platform is independently positionable in a lateral direction relative to the patient support platform.

4. A therapeutic bed comprising:

a base frame;

a patient support platform rotatable relative to the base frame, rotatable between a supine position and a prone position;

a head support moveably coupled to the patient support platform to support a head of a patient; and

a head restraint moveably coupled to the head support, the head restraint independently positionable relative to both the patient support platform and the head support to restrain a front portion of a patient's head while in the prone position.

a guide coupled to the patient support platform; and

a head restraint coupled to the guide, the guide manipulable to move the head restraint in a direction generally perpendicular to a body of a patient and in an upward and downward direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the base frame to facilitate an adjustment of a head position of the patient.

9. The therapeutic bed of claim 8 , wherein the guide coupled to the patient support platform is moveable along a rail.

10. The therapeutic bed of claim 8 , including a clamp moveably coupled to the guide, the clamp moveable to secure a vertical position of the head restraint.
