COVID – 19 UPDATE

We hope this find you all in good health during these extraordinary times.

Our Centre is currently open as usual, however we are taking the following practical steps and precautions:

We have set up an ON LINE VIDEO CONSULTATION SERVICE. If not able to come to see us, we believe you deserve to continue receiving your physiotherapy treatment from anywhere you are. We will therefore provide you with:

Full consultation

Tailored guidance and support

Instant advice on how to move forward

Home based protocols to maintain and enhance your recovery

Duration: 30 minutes – Price: £38 – BOOK

We are taking these precautions:

All of staff are washing and disinfecting our hands regularly and cleaning surfaces throughout the Centre.

Therapists are taking extra care and following all NHS recommendations and instruction.

Therapists and staff are asked not to come in and to self-isolate if they have a cough or fever or any other symptoms.

We are asking you NOT TO COME in and to self-isolate if you have any symptoms* or have been in contact with someone who showed these symptoms*. NO cancellation fee will be applied of course at any time if given notice.

You will be asked to wash your hands as soon as you enter the treatment room.

You will see me, your physiotherapist, wearing a medical face mask and gloves. This is a measure of prevention, to help maintain the environment as cleanest as possible and protect the well-being of our collective community. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep our communities safe, and for supporting one another as we navigate this moment together.

I hope you and your families are staying healthy.

With gratitude,
