Covid19 clinic update

After a 3 month closure, we are thrilled to be back in business on June 12, 2020. You may be wondering what we're doing to help prevent the spread of covid. First of all, both my osteo and massage associations (the National Manual Osteopathic Society and the MTAA) have sent out detailed guidelines regarding:

• Screening
• Hand hygiene
• Environmental cleaning and disinfection
• Physical distancing
• Use of PPE

Based on these guidelines, here is a more specific rundown of what we're doing at the clinic:

• Masks: Masks are required in the clinic and during treatment. I’ll be wearing a surgical mask, but clients have the option to wear a cloth or disposable mask. If the mask poses an issue for breathing, the client may remove it. If you forget your mask, we'll supply you one for purchase.
• Clean Hands: Hand sanitizer will be provided to all clients upon arrival.
• Water: Unfortunately we can no longer serve water or tea, so you may want to keep a water bottle in your vehicle to hydrate after your treatment.
• Waiting: If you’re early for your appointment, please wait in your vehicle as our waiting room is closed (for now).
• Sanitation: Rest assured I’ll be disinfecting treatment tables and all surfaces between each client! 
• Screening: Two days before your appointment, a covid19 screening questionnaire will be sent to you along with your appointment reminder.
• Cancellation: If you cannot make your appointment because you or a family member is feeling unwell, the late cancellation fee will be waived.

By now I know everyone is fairly well versed on how to prevent the spread of covid, but if you have any specific questions or concerns about how we're handling the pandemic at the clinic, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
