Condescending? Please spare me the drama. If you feel your therapist is versed in such matters, the choice is clearly yours.

Let me make this perfectly clear. It is none of your business what I do with my body. NONE.

Look at the headrest. If your body is thrown into it, your neck WILL hyperextend which would do more damage than if your neck was straight Period.

LOL
Excuse me but what you write is not true

Well you cannot reverse the front head rest...I tried. Does not work the same as the back. The end of the video makes me feel better.

Kind of a stretch from the original thread topic, eh?

Agree, it's strayed off topic. That said, I saw nothing condescending in NABS4's suggestions.

In summary, the rear headrests can be removed if desired be to accommodate a child's car seat, luggage, etc, but it requires some fiddling as described in spijun's reply to my original post. It can be done, however, without any fancy tool--it just requires something firm that can slipped under the plastic "cap" of the left pillar (when facing the seat) of the head restraint. And the seat release needs to be pulled so the seat can angle forward to allow the headrest to clear the roof.

there is no way on this planet you should turn around the head rest in any modern car, the oem's spend millions of dollars on crash testing, to say they dont know anything about how the body reacts to a crash is absurd. The guy that tunes the engine doesnt know anything about how the body reacts to a crash but here is an entire panel of people that audi employs to make sure the head rest does exactly what it is designed to do to protect the occupant. So for you PT to tell you to simply turn around the head rest without knowing exactly how the active headrest are designed on the particular car is not only wrong but dangerous in my opinion.

Folks, please refrain from the argumentative comments. There can be disagreement while remaining civil.
Thanks.
