We had an interesting situation today in which a client came in wearing long trackpants and stockings underneath. She had been referred for trochanteric bursitis, so obviously we had to look at the greater trochanter. This presented a bit of a difficult situation with what she was wearing. I ended up getting her to roll her trackpants and stockings down and her underwear up a little bit and draping with a couple of towels. This seemed to work but it was still very difficult to massage her ITB and apply IF treatment. We managed the best we could and the client seemed happy and comfortable. Hopefully next time she will wear something a little more appropriate, but as she was an elderly lady I didn’t feel like I could ask her not to wear stockings, as she is obviously comfortable in them.
