Continuation of Mask Mandate

I have taken the past two weeks to make a decision regarding the mask mandate for my clinic and appreciate your understanding and patience.  

There are many other health settings that continue to enforce a mask mandate in their clinics or practices for various reasons. As a medical practitioner who works in close contact with individuals for long durations of time, I feel that it is in the best interest of both clients and myself to continue to wear masks in the clinic and during treatments for this period of time. There are many clients that I treat that are immune compromised and/or take medication that increases the chances of infection and I feel it is my duty and responsibility to protect the public by keeping the mask mandate in place at this time. You will be informed when the decision is made to lift the mandate. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding in regards to this decision.

Masks in Health Care Settings

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the warmer ‘almost’ summer weather. As summer time approaches, the province is opening up for more events and activities while COVID-19 cases are becoming more manageable.  

As you may know, June 11th marks the end of the mask mandate for many health care settings and public transit. This being said Massage Therapists have been eagerly waiting for guidance from our governing body (CMTO) and have not received any notification or emails pertaining information on the mask mandate or any directive on how we are to proceed in our clinic settings. Due to this lack of guidance, I will be taking two more weeks to make a decision on the subject and would ask that all clients continue to wear their masks upon entering the clinic and while being treated during their appointments. You will be updated on the decision in a future email on or before June 24th.  

I appreciate your understanding and thank you in advance for your cooperation.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the State of Emergency announced in Waterloo Region this past week and the mandate put forth by PHA and my governing college (CMTO), I will be temporarily keeping my Massage Therapy Clinic closed at this time. As I am unsure as to when it will be safe to reopen, I will be contacting clients on a weekly basis who have an upcoming appointment to cancel their treatments and will be placing them on a rebook list for when this outbreak has passed.
