COVID Lockdown Update

Sydney is in lockdown again from Friday June 25th to Friday July 9th.

During this current lockdown, Fit As A Physio is staying open to continue offering quality care to my clients.

The Department of Health has specifically confirmed that physiotherapy is deemed an essential service. The Health Minister has encouraged private practices to remain open, as it will reduce demand on general practice and the hospitals if patients can still see their physiotherapist for their musculoskeletal and acute care management.

I have completed the Department of Health's "COVID-19 Infection Control Training".  I have reviewed all clinic hygiene practices, to ensure optimal safety and care for every person who attends the clinic.

There are many things I am doing as a registered health professional to minimise risk of exposure, through rigorous hygiene practices, and patient screening, to keep you safe.  

You are welcome to attend your appointment, subject to the following conditions:

• Please do not come to your appointment if you are unwell with any potential COVID symptoms.
• Please do not come to your appointment if you have been advised to quarantine or self-isolate.
• Please sign-in at the front door with the Service NSW QR code.
• Please wear a mask.
• Please use the hand sanitiser at the front desk on entering and leaving.

Thank you for your cooperation with these measures.

For our safety:

• I am leaving space in-between appointments to allow time for cleaning, and to minimise patient interaction in the waiting room.
• I will not be greeting you with hand shakes or other contact hand gestures.
• I am wiping down contact surfaces between appointments with Viraclean Hospital Grade disinfectant.
• I am continuing with my normal hand hygiene measures of thorough hand washing before and after all patient contact.
• ​I have the COVIDSafe app downloaded and open, and encourage you to do the same.

​If you are in self-isolation or would prefer to minimise contact in any way, you may like to consult with me via video. "Telehealth" uses technology that’s readily available on your computer or phone to receive assessment, diagnosis, and rehab prescription. FaceTime, Skype, or PhysiApp are easy options. The standard consultation via telehealth is $39/15mins.

If you would like to talk to me about commencing or continuing your physio through Telehealth, please phone 9969 6925, email [email protected], or book online here.

Stay safe and well.
