How We're Moving Forward During Covid-19
We are reaching out to our wonderful clients and community, to let you know that we have closed the doors to our clinic for the time being.
As healthcare professionals on the frontlines of this unprecedented season, we feel that this is the most responsible thing to do. Our highest priority at Creekside Physiotherapy is the health and wellbeing of our clients, practitioners, and community members, and we feel that closing our clinic is the necessary next step in order to stay aligned with this commitment.
That being said, although our physical space is closed for the time being, we are still committed to being of service to our clients as best we can. We will be offering tele-rehab services, which allows us to honour social distancing while still being able to support you in your health and wellness when it matters most.
Tele-rehab sessions involve having a video chat with us, using a secure and approved device and system. We’ll be able to see how you move, and offer our guidance, tips, and suggestions. We can also share documents, send files, and offer demonstrations.
These sessions are booked in 15-minute blocks, at $30 each, and are usually booked for 30-minute appointments. Many insurers cover this service, and we can let you know if yours does. We will call them ourselves to inquire.
We encourage anyone who is experiencing any pain, discomfort, or limited mobility to take advantage of tele-rehab, so as to do our part in freeing up the resources of our healthcare system during this time of increased strain.
We are here to help in any way we can and will do our best to serve our clients. While closing our doors wasn’t an easy decision to make, we believe that it’s important to prioritize the wellbeing of our collective at this time.
Owners Kari and Ryan, along with the entire team at Creekside, are here to help in any way they can. Our phone lines will remain open, and you can call us at 250-427-2202. We would be more than happy to answer any questions you have, whether that’s regarding our tele-rehab offering, your health and treatment plan, any concerns you’re experiencing, or anything else. We are here to support you, listen, and offer any guidance that we can.
And finally, we want to encourage all of you (and ourselves included!) to find the time and space to slow down, breathe deeply, and find as much calmness as you can. Our Yoga Therapists — Kirsten and Ross Guest — will be generously streaming movement and meditation classes, as well as pre-recorded guided meditations. These are available to anyone who would like them, free of charge. Let us know if these interest you!
Again, here is how to get in contact with us:
Phone: 250-427-2202
Email: info@creeksidephysiotherapy.ca
We’ll be practicing social distancing, and strongly encourage everyone else to do the same. We feel confident and optimistic that if we work together as a community (even if from farther apart!) we can protect our vulnerable, and continue to thrive — as a city, province, country, and world.
Thank you so much!
