HOW SHOULD I DRESS FOR MY APPOINTMENT?


When heading to a Physical Therapy appointment, make sure that you dress with comfort and mobility in mind.

Loose-fitting clothes such as tank tops, t-shirts, and shorts or jogging pants allow your Physical Therapist to access your injured area to assess and treat your injury properly. If you have an upper-body injury, such as a neck or shoulder injury, sleeveless shirts are best. If you have a knee or ankle injury, shorts or loose jogging pants are ideal.

Comfortable, supportive, and non-slip shoes are essential for Physical Therapy as they help to keep you stable and safe. Lastly, long hair should be tied up, and jewelry should be removed before your treatment session. The goal of dressing appropriately for Physical Therapy is so that your Physical Therapist can provide you with the best treatment while keeping you comfortable.
