Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update
My highest priority is the health and safety of my clients, my colleagues and my family. As health care professionals, we are staying informed of how the virus could affect our clinic and the best way to protect our own health and the health of our clients. We are ensuring we are familiar with best practice standards around infection control and we are monitoring recommendations from the Australian Government Department of Health updates.
Hygiene and infection control is paramount. We are regularly disinfecting surfaces including treatment tables, door handles and the EFTPOS terminal. Hand sanitiser is available at reception and a second waiting area has been made available in the kitchenette area for clients to maintain further distance from others in the clinic, should they choose to do so. Please sanitise or wash your hands when you first arrive in the clinic.
If you have recently travelled internationally, been in contact with anyone who is confirmed to have COVID-19 or you present with any symptoms, please reschedule your appointment.
In these uncertain times, remember to remain calm and be kind to yourself and others. These challenges will pass. If you are feeling overwhelmed, massage assists in regulating autonomic nervous system function and reduces stress hormones. Research has even shown that massage may boost immune function by increasing the activity of white blood cells!
