What do you need to wear for acupuncture?
Acupuncture is supposed to chill you out. Your outfit should help you to do this – so you aren’t left doing the awkward changing-room shuffle wondering if your socks have holes.
In short: choose something that is relaxed and roomy and easy to roll up.
Wear something like this practical outfit:
Loose trousers or knee-length leggings
Long-sleeve shirt or top (to roll up past the elbow)
Layers (clinics can be hot or cold).
This allows your practitioner easy access to common points on your arms, lower legs and sometimes such areas as the back or abdomen without you feeling overexposed. For Acupuncture Cheltenham, visit /www.purelandsacu.co.uk
What to skip (unless you want to faff)
Your jeans (hard to roll up, not comfortable)
Anything too involved (overalls, formals, bodysuits – you know where I am going with this)
Wearing lots of jewellery (most likely it will have to come off)
Powerful fragrance (you will be in a confined space)
Shoes and socks – Slip-on shoes are handy. Socks are OK although you may need to take them off, or keep them on depending upon treatment.
Extras for a more seamless appointment experience
Eat something beforehand (nobody likes a needle on an empty stomach)
Ensure you are wearing something you are really comfortable in so you can focus on the treatment and your wellbeing, and not get distracted by your clothing.
