Bury Physio continues to maintain best practice with our hygiene and sanitation provision by adhering to the NHS, Government and CSP guidelines.   We are taking every measure to keep our community safe by helping reduce the risk or spread of Covid-19 during this pandemic.

General Physiotherapy appointment information:

• We ask patients to stay home if feeling sick or not feeling well or have a temperature above 37.5 degrees.
• Appointments will be spaced out with 10-15 minutes between each patient, we politely ask you remain in your car in the carpark or in the spaces outside the clinic to minimise people in the clinic.
• A member of our team will perform a screening questionnaire with you on your arrival.
• We will take a forehead temperature reading, available from the end of May.
• We will ask all patients to wash their hands before their appointment, use the
• sanitiser provided and wear a mask and gloves during their physio session (disposable products provided; however, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer).
• If you have recently returned from overseas, please isolate for 14 days.
• Use your elbow or tissues to cover your cough/sneezes.
• We ask you to maintain social distancing rules as recommended by current guidelines.

Our Physiotherapists will be wearing recommended PPE equipment which includes scrubs, apron, latex free gloves, a disposable facemask, and visor for everyone’s safety.  Thorough hand washing with soap and alcohol-based hand rub is performed before and after patient contact.
