Greetings

Today's the day! 

Honestly, I've been worried.  Even though we've been treating patients by virtual physiotherapy (i.e. phone and video calls), I knew many folks still needed hands-on care. 

Thankfully, we're now allowed to treat patients in person, starting today!  We opened our doors this morning.  But there are many new government health rules for us to follow. 

So it might be weird.  All therapists will be wearing face masks - so you won't see us smile at you.  We'll be making you sit in your car if you arrive early for your appointment - so we'll miss our waiting room chit chat.  And we'll be much less busy (to respect Manitoba's Phase 1 re-opening rules) - so the clinic may seem more quiet than normal.  

But it's all in the name of taking care of our clients, and making you feel comfortable.  Physiotherapists and Registered Massage Therapists are regulated health professionals, and we have strong training in the use of personal protective equipment and infection control.  We've reviewed and updated our clinic procedures to meet the most recent provincial requirements, and we're confident in our ability to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. 

Want more details? Read my recent blog post on how we're reducing the risk.  

We'll always be here for virtual physiotherapy if you prefer to see your physiotherapist from the comfort of your home.  But if you'd like to see us in person, call us now. And we'll adapt to this weird new world together.

Sincerely,

Andrea Grant

Clinic Director, Registered Physiotherapist
