Is being naked ok for physio patients?

[Qwerty123]

This question goes out to all Physios worldwide. Is it ever ok to ask (CONSENT!) a patient to remove their underwear (knickers, panties) for soft tissue treatment of gluteal, hip flexor or other pelvic-located muscles? Would love to hear from physios around the world to gauge what is considered appropriate (and inappropriate) across different cultures and countries.

Hello Qwerty, no, no, no.

It was suggested to me by one therapist that if i wanted i could take my underwear off as i was having lower back and glute work done. I kept my underwear on because I wouldnt feel comfortable even with the towel, but I did always wonder about this. to this day i dont think there was anything seedy going on but I did wonder if there are general standards on this sort of thing
