Each client is responsible for providing his or her own linen: Pillow case, flat and fitted single sheet set, any additional blankets you feel you might need and a pillow for positioning if needed. 

Most sessions can be performed with the client wearing yoga pants or exercise shorts and sports top. If disrobing is required your therapist will use proper draping techniques.  

Therapist equipment: Massage table, wedges, bolsters, cups, orthotic samples and the like.
