What should I wear to an osteopath appointment?

It’s important that you feel comfortable, so

wear a loose shirt or T/shirt, loose pants or shorts, or bring loose clothes with you to change into at the appointment.

During the examination and treatment, you can be asked to remove certain clothing, usually down to your short/pants and bra.

A bra that unclips at the back, instead of a sport bra is better.

As we can work on the local and distant sites relating to their symptoms, if you are at all uncomfortable

we can also treat you with your clothes on.

For example: If we are working on your neck, we may ask for you to take your t-shirt off to check areas of your upper back and neck.

If we are working on your low back, we may work on your glut muscles (upper bottom), we can do this either with your clothes on or we can adjust your pants to show your upper bottom.

We have towels to place on your to drape you appropriate and ensure you are comfortable at all times. But, remember if you would like to stay in your clothing that is ok too.
