Eramosa Physiotherapy: COVID-19

ERAMOSA PHYSIOTHERAPY NOTICE ** JUNE 11th, 2022 UPDATE**

The College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and our local public health units have announced that clients and our employees are no longer required to wear a mask while receiving our services in the clinic.

We encourage any client who prefers that their provider wear a mask during their treatment to either wear their mask to their appointment so that their provider can readily see their preference or simply ask your provider to wear a mask. Your physiotherapist may complete a risk assessment and, in some cases, may increase their level of personal protective equipment and require that high-risk clients wear a mask.

We are confident that with open communication that we will continue to manage the ever-changing environment of providing safe healthcare services. We appreciate our client’s and employee’s loyalty and patience as we work through this transition period.
