Dear Team Rehab patients:

At Team Rehab, our patients and staff member's health & safety is a top priority. Here you will find updated information on how we are dealing with the threat of the coronavirus (COVID-19) inside our clinics. Additionally, you will find some tips on whether you should attend your therapy appointment or not.

***If you are unsure about whether you should or shouldn't come in for your appointment, please call to talk to the clinic director or your therapist. They can ask you some questions and take your specific case into account.

Inside our Clinics:

We are practicing a variety of safety precautions to keep everyone in our clinics safe.

1. Masks are optional for all.

2. All equipment, tables, counters, door handles and other exposed surfaces will be cleaned with CDC approved disinfectants.

3. All staff will wash hands regularly after contact with other persons and surfaces within the clinic.

Our staff treat every patient with universal precautions, meaning thorough hand washing and sanitizing in between patients. We will be consistently disinfecting surfaces throughout our treatment day and will be happy to sanitize a piece of equipment prior to your use. We are prepared to safely treat patients inside our clinics as we have hand washing stations and hand sanitizer for patients to use. We recommend frequent, thorough hand washing as the best defense against the spread of the virus. Also, avoid touching your face until you have washed your hands. Always cough or sneeze into a sleeve or tissue and wash your hands immediately afterward. We have posted sanitizing instructions throughout the clinics.
