My clients’ wellbeing is always my top priority. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, I have implemented a number of new measures to ensure the safety of my sports massage clients, complying fully with government guidelines and those of my professional body. I would like to thank my clients for their continued support and compliance throughout this time.

As per the latest Government Guidelines, there has been a relaxation of restrictions and there is no current “legal” requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for Covid-19. However, it does remain a dangerous virus for vulnerable individuals with the government and official public health advice remaining that people testing positive for the virus should stay at home.

My professional body, the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage, has advised the following:

1. If you are suffering from a “Winter Virus” (Cold/Flu/Covid), treatment should not take place.

As per normal infection control protocols I am unable to provide treatment.  If you already have a booking, please contact me to rearrange your appointment.

2. As your Therapist, I shall wear a facemask during the “Winter Virus” season (November – March).

There is no legal requirement for you, as a client, to wear a mask. However, as I provide a close contact service, mask wearing is strongly advised. It is nevertheless, totally your choice.

3. Hygiene, ventilation, regular LFT and vaccination, along with mask wearing remain key elements in risk reduction.

Please rest assured that all of these protocols remain in place at my clinic. I continually monitor infection rates in the local area and modify controls as I feel necessary to safeguard my clients, family and the community.
