To read more about the rules/guidelines, you can find them here.

Here’s what I’m doing to comply with those rules for dealing with COVID:

• Virtual visits will continue to be an option for everyone.
  • Options are for 15-, 30-, or 45-minute appointments.
  • Just like the appointments that you’re used to, we can use these visits for a variety of purposes:
    • Teaching you ways to self-manage pain and other symptoms.
    • Creating or revamping exercise programs.
    • Discussing other concerns and how to address them, like stress management, nutrition, use of a brace, advising on shoes, pillows, etc.
• If you are sick (with anything!), please do not come to your appointment.
  • Call or email the office to reschedule your appointment.
  • If you arrive & are sick, your appointment will be cancelled.
• All appointments will be scheduled 15 minutes apart to allow time for thorough cleaning of all high-touch surfaces.
  • I’ve been able to get medical-grade sanitizer (approved for use against COVID) that will be used for this purpose.
• The office door will remain locked at all times.
  • This is to ensure that no one can come into the office unexpectedly, whether it’s for a delivery, a solicitor, or another patient arriving.

For in-person sessions:

• All patients must wear face coverings or masks throughout your entire session.
  • This is per state regulation for medical practices.
  • Ideally, each patient will have their own cloth or surgical mask to wear.
    • For those who do not have access, I will have disposable surgical masks available.
  • I will also be wearing a surgical mask & face shield at all times.
• As many contactless payment options
  • Built-in payment options when scheduling appointments online
  • Electronic invoicing via email
• Because PT is a high-contact service, all patients will be screened for symptoms.
  • The sign-in via QR includes symptom screening
  • All patients are subject to a temperature check with a no-touch infrared thermometer.

During in-person sessions:

• Follow social distancing guidelines whenever possible.
• Gloves:
  • I will be wearing gloves throughout each appointment and putting new ones on for each appointment.
  • If you want gloves before handling any exercise equipment, for example, I will have then available for use.
• Hand sanitizer will be available at various locations in the office.
• I’ve purchased covers for items like foam rollers.
  • If a roller is used, the cover will be removed and replaced with a new cover before the next patient. These will be laundered, just like the other linens.
