Medical Clothing for Physiotherapists

Medical Workwear for Physiotherapists 

A physiotherapist works with their own body, close to the patient, and spends hours on the move. Medical workwear for physiotherapists therefore needs to perform while you kneel, crouch, bend and demonstrate exercises, while also retaining its shape wash after wash. Then there is the second requirement - looking professional. From the first moments in the clinic, patients take in their surroundings and the person leading their therapy, so the right outfit helps create a consistent, professional image. 

Fabric that comes into contact with the patient 

Session after session, your workwear is exposed to constant movement, contact with skin, oils and products used during therapy, and frequent washing. Our styles are certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, Class I  the class with the most stringent requirements within the standard. The SILVERPRO+ finish with silver ions helps limit the growth of microorganisms and the build-up of odours throughout a long working day. This makes our physiotherapy workwear well suited to the pace of a busy clinic. 

A cut for working on your knees and on the mat 

You kneel beside the treatment table, lean over the patient and demonstrate exercises on the mat. Well-chosen physiotherapy scrubs should give you freedom of movement during both manual therapy and exercise-based work. Our cuts fit the body and move with it - no pulling at the shoulders and no constant adjusting between patients. It's the kind of comfort you stop noticing after the first hour. 

The sleeve is a working tool 

In manual therapy, you work not only with your hands but often with your forearms as well. That's why a well-chosen scrub top for physiotherapists shouldn't restrict your movement or get in the way of hands-on work. Short sleeves with a clean finish, such as those on the Arras and Lormont tops, work well during intensive manual therapy and keep your forearms free. 

Your size, without the guesswork 

Every style comes with a size chart in centimetres and instructions on how to take your measurements. When choosing medical workwear for a physiotherapy clinic, consider not only how it fits your figure but also how much room you need when raising your arms, bending or working on the mat. Cuts vary from one style to another, so it's worth checking the chart separately for tops and trousers. If you're unsure, get in touch - we'll help you find the right size. 

Personalisation and sets for your clinic 

Selected styles can be personalised with embroidery featuring your name, professional title or clinic logo. One of Louis Lanier's co-founders is a physiotherapist, so the demands of the profession and the need for freedom of movement are especially important to us. Coordinated scrub sets for physiotherapists also help create a professional, consistent image across the whole team. Team orders are arranged individually, including colour options and delivery dates. 

Polo shirts and functional wear 

If a scrub set isn't for you, we offer an alternative. Our polo shirts and functional wear provide the freedom of movement you need in the exercise room and during medical training while still looking professional in a clinical setting. Comfortable from the first appointment to the last.

FAQ 

Scrubs or sportswear for a physiotherapy clinic? 

Sportswear offers plenty of freedom of movement, but in a clinic it can appear less professional than clothing designed for medical work. Well-chosen physiotherapy scrubs combine the freedom you need during treatment with a look that suits the clinical setting. Styles with added elastane are particularly well suited to work involving frequent bending, kneeling and demonstrating exercises. 

Short or long sleeves for manual therapy? 

For manual therapy, short sleeves are often more practical, as they leave your forearms free and save you from having to push the fabric up while you work. Long sleeves can work well in cooler rooms, during consultations or when leading exercise sessions, provided they don't restrict your movement. 

How do I choose the right size of medical workwear for physiotherapy? 

Measure your chest, waist and hips, then compare your measurements with the size chart for that particular style. Cuts vary from one style to another, so check the chart separately for tops and trousers. It's also worth allowing enough room for bending, raising your arms and working on the mat. If you're unsure, we'll help you find the right size before you order. 

How should I wash physiotherapy workwear so it lasts longer? 

Always follow the care instructions on the label for that particular style. Regular, proper care helps preserve the colour, shape and properties of the fabric for longer. Avoid washing at temperatures above those recommended and using products that could affect the fabric's structure or performance. 

Can I order embroidered workwear for a whole team of physiotherapists? 

Yes. We offer embroidery featuring a name, professional title or clinic logo, including for larger team orders. You can order coordinated scrub sets for physiotherapists to match your clinic's visual identity. Get in touch and we'll work out the details, including colours and the delivery date.
