Osteopathy is considered an essential service and will be able to remain open for now.
For face to face appointments, this is what I am doing to ensure that the clinic continues to be a low-risk place to visit: - Cancelling appointments if I don't feel 100% or have any cold-like symptoms. Getting tested for Covid-19 and only returning to work if the test is negative. - Using minimal linen (you are welcome to bring in your own towel to lie on) - Wiping down the treatment table with a natural soap and water cleaning spray before each patient (Abode lime spritz) as well as spraying with a 70% alcohol cleaner - Wearing a facemask during the hands-on treatment where social distancing is not possible. - Using hand sanitiser or washing hands before each patient. We have hand sanitiser here if you would like to do the same - Asking patients to leave clothes on where possible - Putting away all toys, magazines and cushions - Scheduling a 15-minute break between patients to air out the treatment room - Limiting the number of daily appointments to 6 - No cancellation fee if you feel unwell This is what you can do to help me keep the clinic running: - Do not come to the clinic if you are feeling unwell, have come in contact with someone with Covid-19 or are waiting for the results of a Covid-19 test. - You must inform me if you have tested positive for Covid-19 AND have come to the clinic in the last 14 days - Try to come alone where possible (I know this may be hard with children, and that is fine) - Wash your hands frequently and practice social distancing. "Osteopathy is Service" I've been thinking about this recently. How can I best serve my patients and my community? I've decided to remain open because I believe manual medicine can help the body function at its best. If you need a treatment but are currently experiencing financial hardship, please get in touch with me before booking your appointment so that I can work something out for you. I'm always open to a skill-swap! I want to thank everyone for your continued support and let's continue to help our local small businesses stay in business!
