Covid 19 Update

COVID-19 Virus Update
The College of Physiotherapists of Alberta is supporting private physiotherapy clinics to stay in operation during the pandemic at this time. To remain available for patients with orthopedic concerns decreases the burden on the health care system including emergency departments, physician’s offices, and urgent care clinics. If you have an orthopedic concern you should be currently avoiding these departments / clinics unless its an emergency.
In order to proceed in a safe manner, we will be instituting additional
measures next week including limiting access to our clinic to avoid patient
overlap, patients’ temperatures will be checked by physiotherapists, clinicians
and aids will be wearing masks as applicable. Patients over the age 60 or with co-morbid
conditions should determine whether or not they will deteriorate without
Physiotherapy care. If this is not the
case, your risk considering age and pre-existing conditions may out way the benefits
of your physiotherapy treatment.
In addition, please call us to cancel your appointment if you are one of the following:
– In contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
– Returning from ANY travel – individuals may not be aware they have been in close contact with someone who is sick. Travellers may also not recognize when they first develop symptoms, as they are similar to a cold or flu.
-If you have the following symptoms:
• Fever
• Cough
• Difficulty breathing
Thank you for your patience and cooperation keeping our patients and staff healthy.
Please call 403-203-7670 if you have any questions or if you need to cancel your appointment. As you probably assumed, no cancelation fees will be assigned at any point going forward through this pandemic.
Regards,
Resolve Health Partners
