Light at the end of the tunnel

On the 23rd March we closed the clinic, ceasing face-to-face appointments in order to protect our patients, the practitioners and to stop the spread of coronavirus. This was advised by our professional association, even though we were part of a group of professions exempt from closure by government guidelines. With the recent changes announced by the government, the British Chiropractic Association have revised its initial recommendation and have now advised that clinics may open under specific protocols and procedures. Therefore, Personal Best Chiropractic Clinic will be opening for face-to-face appointments in a limited capacity from Monday 18th May for patients in need. This is classified with a patient centred approach, where the patient feels that hands on treatment is required. This will be defined by, but not exclusive to, progressively worsening symptoms or escalating pain that is not responding to conservative self-care, or symptoms that would otherwise require a face-to-face appointment with another medical professional (e.g. GP, A&E or walk in centre).

Online consultations will be available for patients who prefer not to have a face-to-face appointment.

We have been busy this week setting up strict procedures and protocols, allowing us to deliver treatment confidently and safely to patients that need it under a phased reopening. Although we are not dealing with confirmed COVID-19 cases, we are taking a meticulous approach to our protocols to ensure everyone's safety. By using a combination of screening questions, following a one in, one out rule and only one practitioner working at a time, even tighter hygiene protocols than we already had and a full complement of PPE (including face masks, gloves and aprons), we feel we are doing everything we possibly can to minimise risks and make treatment at Personal Best Chiropractic Clinic as safe as possible.

For the time being, there will be no receptionist, so if you feel you require treatment and would like to book an appointment, please book online https://personalbest.neptune.practicehub.io/p/booking

If you would like any further information or wish to discuss your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us in the first instance via reception@personalbeststudio.co.uk
 
It is great to see the clinic opening, but I fear it may well be a few more weeks until we can open the doors to the studio for training clients and a long time until classes can resume! We await news from both the Government, associations, and insurers as to how we will operate once the lockdown is lifted. Until then, it is Zoom classes and our membership site.
Did you know we have over 100 exercise videos, 100 recipes, multiple health and motivation guides plus a 21 Day challenge, for you to access from your mobile or laptop?
