​PT Works on COVID-19/Flu/RSV/Cold Response:

We have always used hospital grade cleaning solutions with antibacterial and antiviral properties to keep our clinic clean, and all of the therapists wash their hands between patients.  Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 we have continued to and added the following:

*Hand sanitizer is available throughout the clinic for the patients and the employees to use.


*All tables in the gym have pillows with clean pillow cases and have been wiped down with Protex, an antiviral

cleaning solution and disposable paper towels.

*When rooms are cleaned, the tables, armrests of chairs and door knobs are being wiped down with an antiviral cleaning solution.

*All therapists are washing their hands between patients (as they always have done) and using hand sanitizer throughout the day.

*Aides are cleaning common areas and gym equipment throughout the day.

*All employees are told to stay at home if they are feeling sick, have a cough or fever.

*Social Distancing of 6+ feet.

*We are talking to patients that are at a higher risk of the virus to stay at home.

*We provide remote/telehealth appointments for physical therapy treatments in your home.

*We space tables 6+ feet utilizing safe distancing guidelines while patients are in clinic for treatment.

*We will continue to follow updates and protocols suggested by the CDC, Department of Public Health, and local agencies to ensure the safety of our patients and employees.


To ensure your safety we ask our patients to:
*Please use the Protex antiviral cleaning solution to wipe down gym equipment before and after use.
