What to expect at Necessity Health
always at your comfort level
At Necessity Health we will always work to and respect your level of comfort at all times. During therapy, our clinicians will apply pressure to certain muscles to treat your condition. At any point that you feel uncomfortable just let us know and we will adjust the treatment. At times we may ask you to remove an item of clothing to work on certain areas/conditions, this will always be conducted in a sensitive and respectful approach (hospital gowns are always available). However, if you do not feel comfortable with this let your clinician know and they will discuss an alternative approach to your therapy.
