Coronavirus Covid-19 update FAQs
How do I know if I, or someone in my bubble has Covid-19 / Coronavirus?
The NHS website has a list of common symptoms for you to check if you suspect that you or someone you know, might have Covid-19 / Coronavirus.
There is also information here about how to get tested. It is quick and easy to arrange and attend.
I've had it done at a drive through test centre and though uncomfortable for a moment, it was done very quickly and results were back the next day. (Mine was negative and the tickly cough has now gone)
If you receive official notice to self-isolate after being in contact with someone who has Covid-19, you must stay home for 10 days. You could be infected and spread the virus but show no symptoms for several days.
Please follow the link below to the NHS website for more information.
Massage for those shielding or vulnerable
I've been shielding, can I now resume massage therapy for pre-existing conditions?
Tier 4 currently excludes massage therapy. It may be possible for you to discuss options for pain relief and anxiety/stress management with your healthcare provider, consultant or oncologist. I do not know whether massage therapy is likely to be permitted under exceptional circumstances. I wish I had the answers. Message me if you wish to discuss home care and support options, we can do a video consultation.
Can you still do a home visit?
Massage Therapy is not permitted in Tier 4 so I am unable to work in the treatment room or on a home visit.
Due to the extra personal protective equipment I am required to wear during every massage and the additional time needed to clean down in between clients, home appointments will be limited once Tiers change.
Your treatment area will need to be well ventilated and free from other members of your household/support bubble.
When we speak prior to your appointment we will cover all the changes you need to know about.
The appointment will be in a slightly different format to reduce close contact time but will still give you time to discuss the important details before and after your massage.

There is no need to cause you further pain; all techniques discussed prior to your first treatment - we start gently before moving to the deeper tissues.
We work together to ensure the depth and pace are right for you at that particular time.
