Covid-19 Guidelines
Client safety and well being has always been important to us. In light of Covid-19 we have been following HSE guidance and brought in new changes to our face-to-face Physical Therapy and Massage appointments to ensure therapist and client safety. These are outlined below. We are also offering Online consultations for those who prefer to stay at home.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TO PROTECT YOU AND US:
- We will provide you with a face mask when you arrive if you don’t have your own.
- Hand sanitizer will be available to clean your hands.
- Your therapist will wear a face mask and gloves and will follow good hand hygiene
- The clinic (plinth, chair, door handles etc) will be sanitized carefully before an after every client and the room well ventilated. Touch points with the clinic environment (toilet doors, taps etc) will also be regularly cleaned down.
- Any towels used to cover the client will be single use and washed after the appointment
- Any rehab equipment (yoga mat, weights) used in the clinic will be sanitised after use
- Except for treatment or where hands-on assessment is required, the therapist will aim to maintain a 2m distance during the appointment.

High risk clients
If you are considered high risk such you contract Covid-19 but need to attend the clinic for Physical Therapy, please contact the clinic. We will try facilitate you to have the first appointment of the day. This will ensure that no one will have attended ahead of you and the clinic treatment room will have been empty for 12-48 hours prior to your arrival.
