• If you feel unwell or come into contact with anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, please cancel your appointment

• If I feel unwell or learn that I have come into contact with anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, your appointment will be cancelled as soon as possible

• Client who are shielding (those that fall into high risk category and have been contacted by the NHS) should not attend for treatment

• Items that are deemed non-essential and are not easily wipeable will be removed from the treatment room for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the treatment couch cover and leaflets
