Treatments to your back muscles. For Males, this shouldn't be as much of an issue. For Females if you are comfortable taking off your shirt, then that is great. If not, a sports bra or one that allows to access the aching back muscles will be fine.

Treatments for the Lower Body

Generally, if the lower part of your body is to be treated, wearing a pair of loose-fitting shorts is the best idea.
