COVID-19 UPDATE

Our Business is still open but it is not business as usual.

The COVID-19 virus continues to spread throughout the community. Physiotherapy is considered by the Government an essential service at this point in time and our Dulwich Hill clinic will continue to operate with strict policies on hygiene and social distancing.

Face to Face Physiotherapy in the clinic

  • Extra attention to social distancing - only 1 person and 1 physio in the clinic at any time

  • All equipment/treatment tables is cleaned thoroughly between patients

  • No reused towels

  • Patients/clients welcome to bring their own towels, masks, gloves etc. We have gloves and plenty of hand sanitiser.

  • More emphasis on education and exercise (the important stuff that helps you the most) rather than hands on. That said, we are still able to offer hands on treatment to those that need it.

  • We discourage anyone who is showing symptoms of respiratory illness eg cough, sneeze, fever, sore throat from attending. (see telehealth below)

  • We also discourage people with high risk of serious affects from COVID-19 from leaving the safety of their home to attend physio unless absolute necessary. These people include to elderly, those with chronic medical conditions and reduced immune function. (see telehealth below)

Physiotherapist-led exercise in the clinic

  • Individual 1-on-1 exercise sessions only

  • Sessions are at the Group exercise rate

  • All mats, weight, bands are cleaned after each use

  • Gloves can be used

  • feel free to bring your own mat, towels and equipment.

Telehealth Services

  • For anyone unable to leave the home but requires advice on any injury, ache or pain.

  • Online video conferencing to help diagnose a problem, educate you on your condition and put together a management plan. This could involve exercise, postural adjustments, self-treatment or referral on to other health services if required.

  • Simply to use - all you need is a smartphone, tablet or laptop and an email address. We will help you do the rest.

  • Medicare and Private Health funding may be used. Please give us a call on 96967044 to learn more and find out whether telehealth physiotherapy will be suitable for you.

Staying fit and healthy is as important as ever. We want to help you do this but at the same time make it as safe as possible as the COVID-19 virus remains present in the community. Please don’t feel that you need to put up with any unnecessary aches and pains - even if you just want to call on 96967044 to discuss your situation - we will be more than happy to help.
