Do I have to undress down to my underwear?

Ideally, we like to be able to see the area we are treating and the surrounding tissues so that we can deliver an effective and safe treatment. In most cases, if we are treating the upper back in women a strappy top will allow us to treat effectively.  We do have gowns which can be worn and we use blankets to place over patients as we treat, if necessary.  If you do not want to undress then talk to the osteopath and we can work around the issue.  Your modesty will be respected at all times.
