Ross’s story…

I love being a physio because it allows me to help people get back on their feet and back to the things they love to do. There is nothing more rewarding than that. I help people in some pretty trying and frustrating times when pain is slowing them down from doing their activities or sports. Being able to help people get rid of their pain, and get them feeling like their normal selves again is a privilege and the best part of my job. Each patient’s success story is a little victory for me; I learn from each experience how to better help the next patients I will treat. It’s said that variety is the spice of life; well, that applies to physio too… a great part of being a physio is getting the opportunity to help people from all walks of life. Whether it’s an older adult that is having trouble climbing the stairs in their home, a new mother who is having difficulty picking up her baby because of back pain, or an experienced runner trying to get back on track to complete their first marathon, every success story is important to me. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve had my fair share of injuries! If you asked me, I’d claim it’s mainly for research purposes, but the reality is that pain and injury is a part of life at some point, including for physiotherapists! For me, my personal experiences with injury have helped me become a better physiotherapist. Through empathy and understanding about what it takes to heal from injury, I know it’s not necessary to just put up with or live with pain, physiotherapy really does help!

COVID-19 SAFETY

Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture Clinic has protocols to ensure the utmost safety for our patients, team and community. We have worked hard to protect our public health during this pandemic. Medical masks are mandatory for all staff and patients to keep everyone safe, and we appreciate your commitment.

We continue to follow the guidelines and protective measures indicated by our regulatory boards and governments. Our team has also had extensive training on our new protocols, and we are all 100% committed to ensuring our patients’ safety.

This is the new normal.

All patients and staff will be screened before each visit. Unfortunately, anyone showing signs of respiratory infection will be unable to come into the clinic. We will encourage and book virtual physiotherapy appointments for those that need help but are symptomatic if a client is at greater risk or for anyone who is not comfortable coming into the clinic.

We have the highest standards for hand hygiene and cleaning. All equipment and rooms will be disinfected after each use, frequently touched surfaces will be sterilized, and personal protective equipment will be used in all appropriate situations. Patients and staff will have hand washing stations to ensure proper frequent hand hygiene.

We also understand that it is necessary to reduce the risk of transmission with physical distancing. To do this, we have installed plexiglass barriers, reduced the number of appointments available by spreading them out and designed an optimal patient flow that minimizes contact with other patients and staff before and after appointments. Our team is also committed to practicing these as measures of hand hygiene and physical distancing outside the clinic to be safe when they return to work.

Although it may seem different with the steps we need to take, the Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture team is still the same! We still believe in the same values and are here to provide an extraordinary physiotherapy experience. This is not going to change. Our goal is to keep all of us healthy and happy.

Our fabulous admin team is available to book in-clinic appointments now. Or if you prefer a virtual physiotherapy visit, we can book that too. Please call us at 250-545-2922 to book an appointment or if you would like more information.
