When you visit The Therapy Centre in Bedford for treatment, wearing the right clothing can help ensure you’re comfortable and your session is as effective as possible. Our aim is to make your experience smooth and stress-free, so here are some helpful tips on what to wear for your appointment:
Physiotherapy and Sports Massage
For physiotherapy or sports massage appointments, it’s important to wear clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example:
- Lower Body Treatment: Shorts or loose-fitting trousers are ideal.
- Upper Body Treatment: A vest, tank top, or sports bra works well.
We may ask you to remove certain items of clothing to better assess or treat specific areas, but rest assured your comfort and dignity are always our priority.
Acupuncture or Reflexology
For acupuncture, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms, legs, or back, depending on the treatment area. Reflexology focuses on the feet, so you’ll only need to remove your socks and shoes.
Clinical Pilates
If you’re attending for Clinical Pilates opt for stretchy, breathable activewear such as leggings, tracksuit bottoms, or a T-shirt. Footwear isn’t usually required, as these sessions are often performed barefoot or with non-slip socks.
General Tips
- Comfort is Key: Choose soft, breathable fabrics that allow you to move freely.
- Avoid Excess Accessories: Jewellery, belts, and other accessories can get in the way of treatment.
- Bring Layers: Our clinic is temperature-controlled, but having a light jumper or jacket ensures you stay comfortable during your visit.
If you’re ever unsure about what to wear, feel free to contact our friendly team before your appointment. We’ll be happy to advise you on the best options based on your specific treatment.
By wearing the right clothing, you’ll not only feel more at ease but also enable our practitioners to deliver the best possible care tailored to your needs. We look forward to welcoming you to The Therapy Centre!
