The Osteopath;

- A mask can be worn during a treatment at request of patient.
The patient;
- An email is sent to all patients the day before their treatment to confirm whether treatment is appropriate and safe for all concerned.
- Notify the osteopath if any infectious symptoms occur prior, during or within 48 hours of appointment.
- Handwashing or hand sanitising by the patient is requested prior to treatment.
The treatment room;
