What should I wear!?

Accepted Answer

Your modesty and comfort are our top priorities, these are our suggestions, but of course what you wear is your choice.  Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in.   In general, it's best to bring a tank top and shorts that you can change into so we can properly view the area we need to assess and treat.    If you are a woman and we are assessing your neck or back, please wear a tank top and a bra that can be undone at the back, we will keep you covered at the front.
