During the COVID crisis our priority is keeping you and our team as safe as possible while you’re in the clinic. This means we have made a number of adjustments. Our therapists are switching rooms after each treatment to allow time for the rooms to be thoroughly disinfected after each use. All common surfaces, pens etc are being disinfected after each use. Our treatment rooms at 8sqm and wherever possible we have staggered our treatment times to minimise the number of people crossing over in the waiting room.

Prior to entering the clinic we ask that you wash your hands in the bathrooms near the lift. We also ask that you call as early as possible to reschedule your appointment if you have recently travelled or are feeling unwell in anyway. Upon entering the clinic we will be temperature testing our clients before their session begins. You may be asked to wait for your therapist in a treatment room to maximise social distancing.

While we are normally a very child friendly clinic we ask at this time that you do not bring your children with you to the clinic for classes. We ask that for private sessions you only bring your child with you if they are an infant or they are dependent on you due to special needs, or if they are receiving treatment themselves. We understand that this can complicate things for some patients but we are trying to make the clinic environment as safe as possible for our staff and other community members. We appreciate your understanding and respect as this is a challenging time for everyone.
