In 1989, Jody Whitmyer asked the question "how can we solve the most difficult head and seating support problems for people with severe disabilities"? He then went about working personally one-on-one with patients and therapists, rapidly designing and fabricating devices to uniquely-fit the patient. That's how Whitmyer Headrests was born. Since then, Whitmyer’s personally-tailored approach has gained us a reputation worldwide for premium, technologically advanced, fully adjustable wheelchair head support systems. Known for their exceptional comfort and fit, we've never lost touch with what makes our headrests so unique - and that’s you.
