When attending pelvic floor physical therapy, it’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, similar to what you’d wear for a light workout or yoga session. While some sessions involve movement or gentle exercises, others may focus on relaxation, manual therapy, or education.
Ideal Clothing Options…
-
Stretchy pants or leggings (for easy movement)
-
Loose shorts (especially if internal or external pelvic exams are planned)
-
A comfortable top or t-shirt
-
Sports bra (if preferred for modesty during movement-based assessments)
What If an Internal Exam Is Involved?
If internal therapy is part of your session (vaginal or rectal), your therapist will…
-
Explain everything in advance
-
Give you privacy to change
-
Use draping to protect your comfort
-
Only proceed with your full consent
You will not be required to fully undress unless an internal assessment is part of your treatment & you agree to it.
