Is it safe to see my Physio during COVID-19?

Many of our clients have contacted us asking whether we were still open during this time. There has been a lot of misinformation, fear and confusion since the Coronavirus began. As a result, many people are not seeking appropriate physiotherapy treatment when it is completely safe to do so.

The simple answer is YES, it is safe to see your Physiotherapist however there are a couple of things to consider to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Do you feel unwell?

We ask that all clients and team members stay home if they are feeling unwell as a precaution, especially if you have the following symptoms:

If in doubt, please contact the your GP or Physio Physique on (08) 8448 1222, prior to booking a face-to-face appointment.

Maybe you prefer an online physio consult instead?

Telehealth / online physiotherapy consults are ideal for people who:

• Have a diagnosed condition but would like a second opinion

• Are considered "at risk" due to lowered immunity, cancer, diabetes or lung conditions

• Have difficulty travelling due to injury or illness

• Live in remote areas, overseas or rural areas and would like access to a physiotherapist

• Would like the convenience of online consultations from the comfort of their own home

• Prefer non-physical physiotherapy and active rehabilitation (exercise therapy)
