Precautions For In-Person Appointments
Embrace’s physiotherapists are governed by their regulatory college: Physiotherapy Alberta College + Association.
We adhere to COVID-19 protocol, based on direction from the Government of Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Embrace offers a unique clinic space in that your only contact person will be your health care practitioner.
Precautions for in-person appointments include:
- Embrace conducts pre-screening for COVID-19 symptoms for every client and staff member, prior to all appointments.
- You are emailed a COVID-19 survey 2 hours before your appointment – this step is repeated prior to every in-person appointment.
- You will go to the Clinic door at your scheduled appointment time.
- Only necessary items can be brought into the clinic.
- Hand-sanitizing is completed in the entrance area, prior to proceeding into the treatment room.
- Masks protect everyone; therefore, all staff will be wearing a mask – you must also wear a mask when in the treatment room and/or clinic during appointments.
- We clean and disinfect treatment tables, chairs, and equipment between all client appointments.
If you have any of the symptoms listed below, please self-isolate, call 811, and re-schedule your appointment with Embrace:
- Fever
- New onset of cough
- Sore throat
- Shortness of breath
- New loss or decrease in sense of taste or smell
- Runny nose
- Sneezing (not allergy related).
Telehealth appointments are a good option if you need to stay home.
