What should I wear to a physiotherapy session?

For a physiotherapy session, comfort and ease of movement are the most important. Here’s a practical guide:

1. Clothing:

• Loose or stretchable clothes: T-shirts, tank tops, leggings, or shorts are ideal. Avoid tight jeans or restrictive clothing.

• Layering: Wear a lightweight hoodie or jacket if the clinic is cool.

2. Footwear:

• Supportive shoes: Sneakers or trainers are best, especially if you’ll be doing balance or walking exercises.

• Barefoot sometimes: Some exercises may require bare feet (especially for foot, ankle, or balance work), so make sure your socks are clean.

3. Accessories:

• Minimal jewelry: Rings, bracelets, and watches can get in the way.

• Hair tied back: Keeps hair out of your face during exercises.

4. Special considerations:

• If you have a specific injury or area being treated, choose clothes that allow easy access (e.g., shorts for knee therapy, sleeveless top for shoulder therapy).

Basically, think “comfortable gym clothes” rather than formal or restrictive attire.
