CoVID-19 Regulations

In light of the ongoing CoVID-19 pandemic the clinic has implemented a series of measures to ensure we can remain open and COVID secure.

Society Advice to Members

On the 5th January 2021 after we were put into the 3rd national lockdown, we were given the following advice by our regulatory body the Society of Sports Therapist informing us we could continue to see patients as long as certain criteria was met.

"Members can continue to practise where they are providing essential therapy services for the relief of pain and acute symptoms that may be detrimental to quality of life, or in order to prevent disability. This does not include non-essential treatments, or those that are provided for maintenance, or detailed as ‘close contact services’, such as remedial or sports massage. However, where soft tissue therapy is indicated within the aforementioned essential criteria, it can be applied, on the provision that full PPE requirements and CoVID-19 safety measures are adhered to.

Wherever possible, initial and follow up consultations should be undertaken virtually and, face to face interventions only carried out where necessary and for as minimum a time period as possible."
