Ever wondered "what should I wear to my appointment?"

Wearing comfortable and unrestrictive clothing can help your appointment run more smoothly - for both you and your practitioner!

👖 Coming in for a knee issue? Tight jeans might not be the most practical choice. Pick shorts instead.
👗 Got a back concern? A dress could make assessment or treatment a little tricky! Wearing something that your practitioner can easily work around to assess the area in question is best.
🏃‍♀️ Attending an exercise session? Activewear or unrestrictive clothing is ideal!

If you're ever unsure, just ask! Don’t worry, we have a few spare pairs of shorts available if needed

“Physical activity” sounds serious… but it’s really just moving your body! 💪🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️

It could be walking to the bus stop, vacuuming the house, playing netball, hitting the gym, or lifting weights - anything that gets your heart rate up and your body working a little harder than usual.

✨ Regular physical activity is linked with:
✅ Better sleep
✅ Improved mental health
✅ A stronger sense of purpose
✅ Even better performance at work!

If pain or injury is holding you back from getting active, our Physiotherapists are here to help - whether you want to return to sport or just move more in everyday life.

Living with hip or knee arthritis?

Our Move Arthritis Program is designed for anyone experiencing symptoms - no matter how mild or severe.
