What Should I Wear to My Appointment?
Choosing the right attire for a physiotherapy appointment ensures both comfort and practicality. Here are some guidelines to help you dress appropriately:

1. General Recommendations:
   o Tops: Opt for moisture-wicking t-shirts, tank tops, or lightweight long-sleeve shirts. These allow your skin to breathe and won’t hinder movement during exercises or assessments1.
   o Bottoms: Comfort is key! Stretchy leggings, yoga pants, or athletic shorts work well. You want something that allows unrestricted movement and won’t restrict your range of motion1.
   o Footwear: Supportive shoes are essential. While you might not need them during the session itself, they’re crucial for getting to and from the clinic. Plus, they contribute to overall comfort and stability1.
2. Specific Considerations:
   o Neck, Upper Back, or Shoulder Issues: You’ll likely be asked to remove your top so the physiotherapist can assess your posture. Ladies, feel free to wear a strappy top or vest if that’s more comfortable for you2.
   o Lower Back Problems: Bring shorts, especially if you have pain radiating down your leg. The physio may need to check nerve function in your legs2.
   o Hip, Knee, and Ankle Problems: Shorts are ideal. Alternatively, a loose skirt works for ladies. Remember, tights, shoes, and socks will need to be removed2.
   o Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Issues: A short-sleeved top is usually fine2.
   o Sport-Related Issues (e.g., Running): If your pain is linked to a specific sport, consider bringing your running trainers. The physio might even put you on a treadmill to assess factors contributing to your discomfort2.
3. Modesty and Cultural Preferences:
   o If you’re uncomfortable undressing in the clinic room, don’t worry! Physiotherapists aim to be professional and will use towels to preserve your modesty when needed. Arriving a few minutes early to change into appropriate clothing is also an option.
   o If you have cultural or religious reasons for not removing certain items of clothing, just let the clinic staff know, and they’ll accommodate your preferences2.

Remember, the goal is to make you feel at ease during your appointment. So whether it’s shorts, leggings, or a strappy top, choose what makes you feel comfortable and ready to tackle those exercises!
