Check out what has been happening recently and what events are coming up.
We have Moved!!
We have moved premises in Oundle from Fletton House where we have been for almost 6 years to the therapy room at RESTORE at Oundle Wharf. We currently have exclusive use of this room so can ensure our high cleaning standards are maintained and we can provide treatment in all three tiers so that our patients can be cared for at all times. We look forward to working with the lovely team at RESTORE and welcoming you to our new facility.
COVID 19
CLOSED FACE TO FACE BUT OPEN ONLINE
Although we are unable to offer face to face during lockdown 3 we have set up with Rehab my Patient the ability to offer secure online consultations where we can see, discuss and assess your condition and provide advice and care to help you manage your condition. There is a small fee for this service of £10 for up to 30 minutes including any personalised exercise programmes you may require. Its not hands on but it may help avoid a trip to the GP.
It has been undoubtedly the most challenging time for our business and for so many across the world but have been so appreciative of the support we have received from many patients. We are now CLOSED once again for lockdown 3 for face to face. However when we return we will be following the most current guidance. Below we provide the most recent guidelines that we were following, which will ensure the safety of all our patients and therapist.
All of the guidelines are subject to change as the government provides further guidance and we will endeavour to update this page regularly. Please take a look at the steps taken so far but bear in mind that under such challenging times things may be updated as we go forwards. All regular patients will be contacted personally should changes occur.
~ We are currently continuing to offer home visits in the Thrapston area whilst we remain unable to return to the GP practice and at our office at RESTORE at Oundle Wharf. The cost of treatments for both will remain the same as our normal rates until we can return to our premises. (Home visits in other locations are charged at the higher rate unless reason is due to access at RESTORE)
~ Face coverings will be compulsory for both patient and therapist during the entire visit to your home and at the office. Face coverings must be clean. Basic disposable masks can be purchased for just 50p if you cannot provide your own.
~ You are able to provide your own towels should you wish but these should be washed separately at 60 degrees after the treatment. If using our towels and covers these will continue to be clean for each person then sealed and washed at 60.
~ Hand washing continues to be good practice but in addition there will be antibacterial hand gel available to both patient and therapist to use as required.
~ Where feasible treatments will involve patients facing away to avoid unnecessary face to face.
~ As always we will continue to use hospital grade antibacterial cleaning products to clean our equipment.
~ We will be limiting the number of patients per day with a minimum gap of 15 mins between each to ensure ventilation and thorough cleaning.
~ The use of fans are only permitted sparingly.
~ Therapists will not touch anything that they do not own or need to use in your home
~ Cash will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances and card contactless now accepted inc Apple Pay
~ We have taken a certified course through the WHO on COVID 19 to ensure we are up to date with all relevant information
