Covid-19 Notice: What AxisPro PT is doing to address Covid-19

With all that is going on around us, we just wanted to let you know what Axispro PT is doing with regards to the Coronavirus.

We take the situation very seriously and have applied multiple safety measures to allow our patients to receive the highest quality of Physical and Occupational therapies in our clinic. Our clinic is nearly 3000 square feet which allow us to provide social distancing between patients and staff members without any difficulties.

  • We want to protect our patients as much as our staff, therefore, wearing a safety mask during the session is mandatory! Please make sure that you have one when coming for your PT or OT.
  • Your session will be provided in one to one ratio ONLY!
  • When you arrive, we will check your temperature and have you fill a CDC form related to your health condition.
  • If you have to pay your co-pay, co-insurance we would like you to consider paying with a credit card.
  • There are multiple hand sanitizers attached to the walls. We encourage you to use them frequently. You can also wash your hands several times during the session.
  • Our therapists will wear protective gloves as well. We will be happy to provide you with gloves if you wish.

We are always dedicated to keeping AxisPro PT a safe place for your Physical Therapy needs. Our sanitizing protocol in our treatment rooms is always very thorough. As a standard practice, we apply Purell disinfectant to all surfaces which have demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to the Coronavirus. We also change all linens that have been contacted after each client.

During this current threat, we have increased our sanitizing efforts and are wiping all surfaces between clients including pens, doorknobs, weights, and equipment.
In Short:

  • We deep clean surfaces daily
  • We wipe the table and change all linens that have been contacted between each client visit.
  • We have now begun to wipe down doorknobs, chair arms, and any other surface that has been touched or used during a treatment
  • We continue to provide some of our treatments in private treatment rooms.
  • We are requiring clients to call and cancel appointments if ill and waiving all cancellation fees for illness.
  • We are also requiring staff to stay home if they are ill.

We appreciate you choosing AxisPro PT for your therapy and If you have any questions at all or need anything, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (321) 32 –8509.

COVID-19 is a new virus strain that is believed to spread in similar ways as the common cold, such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include fever, cough and difficulty breathing. If you think you have been exposed to the virus and have respiratory symptoms, please call your health care provider as a first step, before coming into physical therapy.

Across the world, new cases of COVID-19 are being reported, and recently The President have declared a state of emergency in the whole country. However, according to the CDC and other authorities, the risk remains low for exposure in the U.S. We are monitoring this issue closely and taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and employees.

AxisPro PT will be waiving all cancellation fees that are due to illness.

How to protect yourself

You can protect yourself from COVID-19 infection the same ways you protect against the common cold or seasonal flu.

  • Sanitize your hands often for at least 20 seconds each time. Alcohol gel works well in most situations (like after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose), but handwashing with soap and water should be performed after going to the bathroom, before eating, or when your hands are visibly soiled.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. (Putting a tissue on a table contaminates the surface of the table with germs.)
    Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Routinely disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, using a cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Avoid travel to high-risk countries. the CDC is discouraging non-essential travel to or through any of the countries for which the CDC has issued a level 2 or 3 travel health notice.

If you feel sick

Use home quarantine or home isolation:

  • Stay home if you believe you have been exposed to the virus, even if you are not showing any symptoms.
  • If you have traveled to a country on the CDC list of level 2 or 3 travel health notices and feel ill, call your health care provider.
  • Stay home when you are sick, especially if you have respiratory illness symptoms. At the present time, these symptoms are more likely due to influenza or other respiratory viruses than to a COVID-19 infection. Whether you have seasonal flu, the common cold, or something else, it’s important you stay away from others when sick.
  • Monitor yourself for fever, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Symptoms to monitor

Stay informed

The CDC has the most current information about the virus, including everything you need to know about how the virus spreads, how it’s treated, how to protect yourself, and what to do if you get sick. Stay on top of the latest by visiting the CDC website, which is being updated frequently.
