procedures during covid-19
Utilize Telehealth
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more medical and health professionals have been successfully utilizing telehealth as a means to provide care while minimizing the risks to their patients to public exposure. While nothing can replace the effectiveness of manual therapy or in-person physical training, telehealth and virtual training can be a viable way to achieve your optimal health goals.
Virtual Appointment vs In-Person
How do I know if I need a virtual or in-person appointment?
Determining whether a patient should be seen in the clinic or via telehealth is a shared decision based on the therapist's clinical judgment, the patient's needs and comfort levels, and local guidelines. Discuss potential risks and benefits of in-person visits with your therapist to decide the best treatment mode of delivery for you.
In-Studio Safety Implementations
COVID-19 is spread by respiratory droplets. We all must act as if we have been exposed to the virus, and that we do not wish to spread the virus to others to whom we come in contact. Per CDC guidelines, hand-washing, refraining from touching your face, practicing social distancing, and wearing masks are the only current means we have to mitigate spread. OnPointe PT is committed to adhering to these important safety guidelines. All equipment is cleaned before and after patient use.
COVID-19 Pre-Screen Questionnare
If you and your therapist determine that an in-person appointment is warranted and necessary, you will be required to fill out a COVID-19 pre-screen questionnaire which will be sent to you once you register as a patient via our secure electronic health records portal.
What to Expect at Your in-Person Appointment
To adhere to social distancing recommendations, patients may text their arrival while waiting in their vehicle, or by maintaining masked, social distancing outside of the building. Your therapist will text you when it is time to enter the studio. Please wash hands upon entry. Body temperature and oxygen saturation levels will be monitored. It is imperative that appointments commence and end on time to prevent patient treatment time overlapping. Please limit the number of caregivers attending to one person (in case of minors attending therapy).
When to Cancel an Appointment
Be considerate of others and err on the side of caution. Please call to cancel your appointment (you will not be charged) if you are experiencing the following symptoms:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Congestion or runny nose
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain (unrelated to why you are coming to therapy)
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
- Less common symptoms: gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
