IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CURRENT COVID RESTRICTIONS

COVID restrictions have now eased to allow more face to face appointments. This is permissible if a delay in such care would lead to a significant increase in pain, increased frequency of treatment or an increase in recovery time. We are still unable to run group classes but continue to offer 1 to 1 clinical exercise appointments. As we are offering an essential healthcare service it is also permissible to travel more than 5km from your home for your appointment. We can provide you with a letter of attendance or you can use your appointment reminder.

We continue to follow all recommended guidelines for infection control and keeping social distance. Please be mindful as you enter our waiting areas of the number of people allowed at a time (noted on each door) if you would like to wait outside or in your car please let our admin staff know. All practitioners are wearing masks and face shields and we ask that you keep your mask on for the duration of your appointment, our face to face interactions adhere to strict hygiene protocols.
