COVID-19 related changes
At Tru Physical Therapy, there is nothing more important than keeping our patients healthy and safe. The department of Homeland Security and State of Nevada has deemed physical therapy an essential component of healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to maintain safety in our clinics, the following protocols have been put in place:
- Patient Screening: All patients will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. If patient exhibits symptoms related to COVID-19, they will be advised to return home and contact their primary care physician.
- Employee Screening: All employees will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms daily. Those presenting with any level of symptoms will return home and contact primary care physician before returning to work.
- Hygiene Protocols: As per CDC, all staff will wash/sanitize hands between each patient. Patients are encouraged to wash or sanitize hands after equipment use. Staff members will sanitize all equipment with medical-grade disinfectant before and after each use.
- Masking: As per CDC, all staff is required to wear face coverings in clinic. Patients are encouraged, but not required, to wear face masks while at clinics.
- Workflow: Patients are encourage to fill out all paperwork online to limit time in waiting room. We ask that you consider waiting in car prior to your scheduled appointment. Please consider limiting the number of people who accompany you to your appointments. Patient scheduling will be limited to accommodate each patient remaining 6 feet apart. Equipment has been spread apart throughout clinic to help maintain appropriate social distancing measures. When possible and by request, seniors and other at-risk patients will be scheduled into lower-traffic hours. Upon request, telehealth appointments will be made available.
Our Commitment to YOU!
We want you to get back to 100%. Whatever your goals may be, the single-biggest factor in a successful recovery from injury is completing the recommended course of care. If there are additional health measures that may be necessary to protect your health in our clinics, please discuss with our office staff prior to your appointment and with your physical therapist upon arrival. Keeping you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as we can during this time is our number one priority.
