Do I need to wear specific clothing for the session?
It's best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. If your physiotherapist needs to examine or work on a specific part of your body, you may be asked to remove or loosen certain items of your clothing. Your dignity will always be respected. Typically, you might want to bring or wear: Athletic wear, gym clothes, or easy-to-remove tops and bottoms (a sports-bra or tank-top if your upper body needs attention is suggested)
