COVID Guidelines for Osteopath Visits
Gemma Happe • October 13, 2020
Changes to treatments in line with COVID 19 Guidelines.
During these unprecedented times, we are asking patients to wear a face mask (that covers both your mouth and your nose) to help keep our staff and patients safe.
We have implemented wide-ranging policies, procedures and facilities to meet the stringent requirements placed upon us by Public Health England and the General Osteopathic Council to minimise infection risk to our patients and practitioners.
PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE PRACTICE IF……
- You have any symptoms of Covid-19 now or have had at any time in the last 10 days
- You have had contact with anyone with symptoms, diagnosed or not in the last 14 days
- You have returned from a country subject to quarantine restrictions in the last 14 days
Please note all of the Team are wearing PPE, the clinic is cleaned in-between each treatment and patients are asked to apply alcohol rub when entering the clinic.
How to wear a facemask properly.

If your car broke down you’d call a mechanic, if you had a leaking pipe you’d find a plumber and if your laptop stopped working, you’d seek the help of an IT specialist. When it’s comes to your musculoskeletal system, don’t wait for a full blown break down, call the Osteopath when the warning lights come up on the dashboard. Get an appointment booked sooner rather than later. This will allow the injury to heal quicker and it will also mean fewer visits! Less pain for the patient and purse!
