When the concern is a shoulder, an upper back or the way you move, your provider needs a clear view of the area and room for you to move through an exam.
Gowns to Consider
- The GIV Motion has front closures and releasable seams across the tops of the shoulders and sleeves. Opening them can expose the upper chest, shoulders and upper back, together or in sections, while lower coverage stays in place.
- The GIV Forward Shirt can pair with your own athletic wear for physical therapy or chiropractic care.
Before You Go
Ask whether you should bring shorts or anything else for the visit, particularly if your hip, knee or lower back is involved as well.
What to Say When You Arrive
"I brought my own gown. The shoulders open so you can examine that area. May I wear it today?"
