COVID-19 Re-opening of North Durham Physiotherapy (In-Person)

I am pleased to announce that Ontario Minister of Health has now allowed regulated health professional to slowly and cautiously re-open the clinic for in-person non-urgent physiotherapy care.  I will be following guidelines set out by the College of Physiotherapists and the Ontario Ministry of Health in order to provide a safe environment for everyone.

SCREENING QUESTIONS

1. Do you have any new or worsening symptoms such as fever/chills, difficulty breathing/shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, runny nose, decrease or loss sense of smell, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea or not feeling well?

2. Have you travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days?

3. Have you had close contact with a confirmed or probably case of COVID-19?

• Please avoid touching any unnecessary surfaces while in the clinic
• Keep your shoes on until you are about to enter the treatment room (please wear socks)

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Part of your history may be taken over the phone prior to your physical appointment to limit physical contact with others as much as possible
• For everyone’s safety I will be wearing personal protective equipment including mask, goggles and gloves
• Patients are required to wear a mask and wash hands
• Your physical appointment will be similar to before but with extra precaution to ensure your protection

AT THE END OF THE APPOINTMENT

To reduce time and exposure in the clinic

• Please be familiar with your schedule or email to book a follow up appointment
• Wash your hands after treatment
• Please leave your mask on until you leave the clinic

FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY

• I will be cleaning and disinfecting between each patient
• Patient appointment times will be more spaced out to allow time for cleaning and minimizing the number of people in the clinic at once

These guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available.  Last updated September 1, 2021. Thank you!!
