Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Procedures

As you are likely aware RMT’s and most other healthcare providers are no longer under pandemic guidelines from the Ministry of Health. However please know that I am still taking precautions to keep my patients safe. My current procedures are:

  • All patients are asked to stay home if they have any symptoms.  Even if you just have a cold please do not attend the clinic if you are ill. 
  • Mask wearing is no longer required.  However, if you arrive in a mask, I will respect your lead and wear a mask during your treatment as well.
  • Hand sanitizer is available for patient use throughout the clinic.
  • I will continue to prioritize my own hand washing. I wash before and after every massage treatment, I give and at other key intervals throughout the day.
  • All high touch points are sanitized between patients (light switches, door knobs, etc.).
  • All equipment is disinfected after use (massage table, massage stool, massage cups, etc.)
  • The disinfectant used is approved by the Ministry of Health (MOH) for infection control. The MOH has determined its efficacy for eliminating viruses, fungus and bacteria.
  • Each patient receives freshly laundered linens. All sheets, blankets, pillow cases, face rest covers, etc. are laundered after every use.
  • An air purifier is run in the clinic.
  • Equipment is inspected monthly. If anything has signs of wear it is fixed or replaced. This ensures there are no rips or tears germs can hide in.
  • I continue to monitor local infection rates. Should it make sense to revert back to stricter restrictions I will do so.
  • I am currently triple vaccinated against covid and plan on getting the OMICON vaccination once it becomes available in the fall.
  • All of my other vaccinations are kept up to date as well including the yearly flu shot, Hepatitis, Tetanus, MMR, etc.

Please note that this list is not my official IPAC policy. It has been modified for ease of reading for lay people. You are welcome to request the complete policy if desired.
