Coronavirus + Telehealth

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update

At Peel Physiotherapy Centre we have acted promptly to ensure our hygiene/cleaning standards, systems and processes are in line with the changing guidelines laid out by the Department of Health.

Screening

We have commenced individually screening all patients, new and existing, concerning potential exposure to Covid-19 and symptoms.

We also have the following information on signage prior to entry and have information posters in the reception area.

If you have travelled overseas in the last 2 weeks or have been in contact with a confirmed or currently being tested, case of Covid-19 and have ANY of these symptoms:

• Fever
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Shortness of breath

Then please DO NOT attend the practice, please call reception on 95355200 for rescheduling, further information and advice.

Cancellations

Please call reception if you need to cancel an appointment or email us if possible 24 hours before an appointment.

Hygeine

All patients must use hand sanitiser or wash their hands when entering the clinic.
Hand sanitiser is available in all treatment rooms and spaces throughout the clinic.
On arrival, if you prefer, you may stay in your car until the time of your appointment.
We have single use, disposable covers for the pillows.
We have removed bedcovers to allow for hospital grade disinfectant to be used between each client.
All staff will continue to maintain a high level of hygiene practice (with use of hand sanitiser) between clients and maintain 1.5 metre distancing where possible.
The reception counter and EFTPOS terminal, chairs and table are regularly cleaned throughout the day.
If you wish to wear a mask during the treatment session we encourage you to do so.

Treatment rooms and gym

All surfaces and chairs are cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant with disposable cloths before and after each client.

All gym equipment and parallel bars are cleaned before and after sessions.

Your health and fitness is more important now than it ever has been as we adjust to life with Covid-19 and we encourage everyone to continue to exercise, sleep, eat and relax well

We are here to assist you in any way we can through phone calls, video (Telehealth) consultations and emails.
