Clinic Policy

Please note that while we have taken all the exceptional measures as recommended by our regulatory boards to minimize the risk of viral transmission, the nature of Massage Therapy and Acupuncture means that physical distancing is not possible in the treatment room. Hence, there is still a risk of viral transmission from asymptomatic spreaders. This is an unavoidable risk of the practice. 

Self Assessment and Screening

Please note that our online booking system Jane app will send you an online mandatory COVID 19 screening tool survey 48 hours before each appointment. It is mandatory that you complete this at least 24 hours before you come for your appointment.

The clinic has reopened with a few changes as recommended by our regulatory bodies, WorkSafeBC, and the PHO.

  1. Please bring minimal personal effects with you (no water bottles etc.)

  2. Please arrive no more than 5 minutes early for your appointment.

  3. Please arrive at your appointment alone as we cannot accommodate anyone extra in the clinic (except for a minor patient being accompanied in the treatment room by a parent or guardian) to ensure social distancing rules.

  4. Face mask: To protect our clients, especially those who are immunocompromised, practitioners and clients are required to wear a medical-grade face mask in the clinic common area, during treatments, and in the treatment room. If you do not have a medical-grade mask, we will provide one. According to the PHO, masks will still be required in healthcare settings, physicians’ offices and patient contact areas.

  5. If you are unwell or feeling even slightly sick, please call or email to cancel your appointment. There will be no charge if your appointment needs to be cancelled due to illness. Please see the screening questions below.

  6. Hand hygiene: Everyone entering the suite will be required to use the hand sanitizer (provided in the automatic dispenser at the front desk or wash their hands).

  7. Travel: If you have travelled outside of the Province or Canada in the last 7 days, please call or email to cancel your appointment. (There will be no charge if your appointment needs to be cancelled due to illness ). Email: admin@petersenwellnessclinic.com

Our priority is to ensure the safety of you, our clients, and our practitioners.
