In accordance with lockdown easing, we are delighted to announce that from Monday 6th July Redbourn Physiotherapy will be offering Online initial screening & Face to Face sessions based on clinical need for Physiotherapy, Reflexology, Podiatry treatment and Sports Massage.
These guidelines come from Public Health England who are now permitting face to face treatment based on clinical need which must be assessed by a physiotherapist.
However at Redbourn Physiotherapy we are reducing unnecessary COVID exposure and are therefore undertaking risk assessments before any face to face consultations, which the patient must sign. Procedures and protocols are in place to minimise any potential COVID risks by anyone visiting our practice or having face to face treatment.
