Do not visit our clinic if you have an onset of even mild cold-like symptoms. Please follow national advice and self quarantine for 7 days (or 14 days if you don’t live alone).

Action Physiotherapy has an action plan to continue assisting patients in with pain/ injury should more extreme measures be put in place from the UK Government. This action plan will be announced and will always be aligned with the national safety precautions.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Information:

Action Physiotherapy continues to follow the latest guidance and maintain highest standards of clinical hygiene. As a small business we are naturally worried about closure and hope this does not occur, however, we shall also follow advice as closely as possible.

Please note: our massage tables and clinical equipment are cleaned with clinical strength antibacterial wipes between patients. Naturally, this may be a concern as you do often have your face in a face hole for a period of time.
​
Important: please follow guidance and do not visit the clinic if you have recently travelled from a highly infected area or situation and refrain from visiting if you are symptomatic or have been in contact with those that are or have been.

We hope you continue to book as normal and will update patients if there are any changes. A new statement will be issued should anything change.
