Covid 19 Treatment Guidance

We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Exhale and would like to ensure you that we are doing everything we can to make it as safe as possible. This document sets out the new procedures for how to attend your appointment in the view of the current Covid-19 pandemic. If you feel unsure about anything then please do not hesitate to contact your therapist.

Guidance for your appointment:

Prior to your appointment you need to complete the form below we kindly ask you to refrain from booking if you have Covid-19 related signs or symptoms. If you are utilizing the car park at the tennis club then please try to space out the parking to help social distancing.

The entrance to the clinic is the first door after the reception windows. This door will be closed and locked. Do not attempt to enter the club through any other entrance. Please arrive on time to your appointment and the therapist will meet you at the door and let you in. Should there be other people around the door then please observe 2m social distancing. If you arrive very early for your appointment then we ask you, please, to remain in your car until your allotted time. If you arrive to your appointment late we kindly ask you to ring your therapist.

Once you enter the building please immediately sanitize your hands with the hand sanitizer provided. You will be escorted by your therapist to the treatment room and we ask you kindly to refrain from touching any objects on the way. This does not include hand rails or supports where needed. You will be asked to wash your hand again in the clinic if you touch anything on the way there.

When you arrive in the treatment room you will be directed to where to put your belongings and where to sit. To enable us to keep an effective and clinical environment please do only bring as few personal belongings to the appointment as possible.

When your treatment is complete you will again be escorted by the therapist out of the same door you entered because the clubhouse is not yet open to the public.

Your therapist will be wearing a face shield and we ask you to please wear a face mask. Please note that treatments to the face is not yet possible.

In the unfortunate event that you fall ill with Covid-19 symptoms or have a positive Covid-19 test please let your therapist know as soon as possible.

We endeavor to keep our environment, and therefore you, as safe as possible so we will be extremely grateful for your full cooperation in this transition period.
