You can come in your normal clothes. At the end of the case history we will advise you whether you will need to change into a gown – this will depend on what examination tests we need to perform to establish your diagnosis and also what treatment types we anticipate you will need for your problem. If you wear something loose e.g. a T-shirt/vest top with jogging pants/shorts/gym wear then we may be able to examine and treat you by just moving your clothes up/down a little. Wearing loose clothing may also be better for you if you are immobile or are in a lot of pain and find changing a problem.
At the end of the initial consultation we will advise you whether you will need to change into a gown on subsequent visits or whether we will be able to treat you without having to get fully changed. Rest assured, your dignity will be respected at all times and a gown will always be available if it is needed.
