I feel embarrassed about undressing in front of a stranger

It is natural to feel embarrassed if osteopathy is new to you. Please remember that your osteopath has seen many various types of bodies before in a state of partial undress but should always be sensitive to your needs. Towels will always be used to protect your modesty when an area of your body does not have to be shown. Please remember to wear appropriate underwear. If you really feel uncomfortable, then you are more than welcome to ask / provide a chaperone. For those who do not want to undress (e.g. for reasons of faith), then osteopathy may be administered with you wearing clothes.
