Appointment protocols

OUR RESPONSE To covid-19

While MN Physiotherapy Clinic is now authorized by the Ontario Health Authority (OHA) and Ontario College of Physiotherapists (OCPT) to provide in-person care, there are a number of adjustments made to our appointment protocol that must be followed to ensure client, staff, and community safety with each visit. Please review the following steps to be taken before, during, and after each in-person appointment at MN Physiotherapy Clinic. We appreciate your willingness to follow these standards and promote health and safety for all!

On the day of your appointment, we will require you to fill out an online ‘Client Screening Questionnaire’ no more than 2 hours before your appointment. This form ensures you are an appropriate candidate for in-person care, and are comfortable with the risks associated with an in-person appointment. You will not be able to enter the facility until this form is completed. Please note that you will need to repeat this form before each consecutive appointment. If you do not see this form in your inbox the day of your appointment, please check your junk folder and contact our clinic if it’s still missing. There is another form to fill out, consent for treatment in Covid-19 explaining the risks of having treatment during this time of the pandemic.
