The “Air Bump” - a Stack St Physio-sanctioned method of greeting. No contact please!
Stack St Physio’s approach to COVID - current as at April 20th, 2020.
We have started resuming face-to-face consultations at the clinic. Please note, we have a range of important processes in place to protect both you and us at this time. This includes:
a phone-based COVID screening for any patient wishing to come into the clinic. You must be:
feeling well and free of any respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, short of breath)
not have travelled, nor had any contact with a COVID-positive person in the last three weeks
under the age of 70
no medical risk factors (not immune compromised; no immunocompromised family members; not pregnant; non-smoker; no other respiratory conditions)
no social risk factors (not working in aged care or high-exposure jobs)
Only one physiotherapist in the clinic at any one time
Allocated spaces in the diary between all patients
Thorough cleaning of treatment rooms and clinic surfaces between patients
Single use, disposable bed protectors and face sheets
Thorough hand hygiene (as always) by both us and for you
Encouraging Telehealth consultations if your condition can be appropriately managed in this way, or you need to/prefer to be seen this way
Physiotherapy has been and continues to be on the essential services list. As a responsible and responsive clinic, we will continue to be guided by Department of Health advice and that of our professional regulatory bodies, and we will review our policies daily, adjusting our practice as required.
Thank you for your support and understanding in this time. If you have any questions at all, please contact us on 0421 195 553 or hello@stackstphysio.com.au.
