6. A prone body support apparatus, comprising:

a base and interconnected primary and secondary frames that provide upper body support and lower body three-point fixation to brace body portions that include knee-adjacent thigh portions, a posterior portion, and one or more feet of a user resting on the body support apparatus in a prone position,

the base having a generally planar configuration to rest the prone body support apparatus on a surface, the base including a foot brace;

the primary frame extending from and supported by the base, the primary frame having a knee-adjacent thigh brace that is oriented generally perpendicular to the base for contacting the user's thigh; and

the secondary frame extending from and supported by the primary frame, the secondary frame having, arranged sequentially from a first end to a second end, a head support having a viewing aperture, a torso support, a hip support, and a posterior brace positionable at an angle relative to the head, torso and hip supports,

wherein the posterior brace, the knee-adjacent thigh brace and the foot brace cooperate in supporting the weight of the user resting on the body support apparatus in a prone position to brace each of the knee-adjacent portion of the user's thigh, the user's posterior, and one or more of the user's feet, and

wherein the secondary frame, when in a prone orientation, is oriented in a plane that is parallel to or angled relative to the base, and is rotatable up to about 100 degrees relative to the base when in an upright position, and

wherein the prone body support apparatus is reconfigurable from the prone orientation to a collapsed orientation to the upright position.

7. The prone body support apparatus of claim 6 , further including a media emplacement extending from at least one of the base or the primary frame and disposed below the head support, the media emplacement aligned with the viewing aperture of the head support.

8. The prone body support apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the primary frame is detachable from the base.

9. The prone body support apparatus of claim 6 , wherein one or both of the knee-adjacent thigh brace and the foot brace are movable, enabling movement of the user's legs and flexion of the user's knee to about 90 degrees when the user is positioned on the posterior brace and one or both feet of the user are positioned on the foot brace.

10. The prone body support apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the foot brace is one of slidable and collapsible.

11. A prone body support apparatus, comprising:

a base and interconnected primary and secondary frames that provide upper body support and lower body three-point fixation to brace body portions that include knee-adjacent thigh portions, a posterior portion, and one or more feet of a user resting on the body support apparatus in a prone position,

the base having a first end and a second end, and having at the second end a foot brace, wherein the base has a generally planar configuration to rest the prone body support apparatus on a surface;

the primary frame having first and second legs, each leg extending from and supported by the base, the primary frame having a knee-adjacent thigh brace extending from the first leg and oriented generally perpendicular to the base for contacting the user's thigh; and

the secondary frame extending from and supported by the primary frame, the secondary frame having, arranged sequentially from a first end to a second end, a head support extending from the first end, the head support having a viewing aperture, a torso support, a hip support, and a posterior brace extending from the second end and positionable at an angle other than parallel to the head, torso and hip supports,

wherein the secondary frame, when in a prone orientation, is oriented in a plane that is parallel to or angled relative to the base, and

wherein the posterior brace, the knee-adjacent thigh brace and the foot brace are cooperate in supporting the weight of the user resting on the body support apparatus in a prone position to brace each of the knee-adjacent portion of the user's thigh, the user's posterior, and one or more of the user's feet.

12. The prone body support apparatus of claim 11 , further including a media emplacement extending from at least one of the base or the primary frame and disposed below the head support, the media emplacement aligned with the viewing aperture of the head support.

13. The prone body support apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first leg and second leg of the primary frame form a triangular support structure with the base.

14. The prone body support apparatus of claim 11 , wherein one or both of the knee-adjacent thigh brace and the foot brace are movable, enabling movement of the user's legs and flexion of the user's knee to about 90 degrees when the user is positioned on the posterior brace and one or both feet of the user are positioned on the foot brace.
