RISE Physio and Wellness COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
RISE Physio and Wellness is operating under the new policies and procedures associated with COVID-19 as outlined by the Ministry of Health as well as our respective Regulatory Bodies. We have been working diligently to ensure that our clients are protected and treated with the highest level of care. Your health is of the utmost importance to us.
We invite you to review the policies and procedures that we have implemented in the clinic below, and reach out to us with any questions or concerns that you may have.
Screening Questionnaire
The day before your appointment, you will be e-mailed a COVID-19 symptom screening questionnaire, this MUST be completed prior to your appointment. Clients that do not complete the online questionnaire, or that answer any questions indicating the possibility of infection will be contacted by a member of thee RISE team on the morning of their appointment. Screening will then be completed by phone to determine if the client is a candidate for an in-person session.
Masks
All clients who enter the clinic are required to be wearing a mask. We ask that you bring your own mask to your appointment (cloth, surgical, N95). When you enter the clinic, please ensure that your mask is on. Please note that if you do not come prepared with a mask for your session, they will be available for a small fee.
