BT Sick Policy - Staying Healthy

BT Sick Policy - Staying Healthy

We are reaching out to share information and remind you of existing health and wellness best practices for our provider team. 

SICK POLICY

During this time of ever shifting information about COVID-19, we want to emphasize the basic sick policy should clients arrive at an appointment not feeling well:

Basic Sick Policy:

As therapists, do not hesitate to turn away a client if they express feeling ill or if they display symptoms of illness such as a stuffy/runny nose, coughing, sneezing, etc. 

We ask that you use your good professional judgement and feel confident should you need to turn clients away when they are sick, even at the tail end of a cold, as they could still be contagious. This also holds true if something becomes evident mid-massage, you are encouraged to stop the session and fully sanitize the room.

Likewise, if you are not feeling well, please stay home and take care of yourself before returning to work.

STAY EXTRA CLEAN

Until COVID-19 is better understood, we would like to sharpen your attention to cleanliness before and after each client session. Extra Precautions:

  • Discontinue use of cloth face cradle covers unless they are single use.

  • USE disposable face cradle covers only.

  • Use an alcohol based wipe to disinfect all your equipment after each session. (chair, table, bottles, phone, etc.)

  • Wash hands or use alcohol based sanitizer spray after each session

  • DO NOT use cover sheets for "clothes on" table mssage.

CORE CLEAN (reminder)

  • Scrub your hands with soap and warm water. Read about CDC guidelines for proper hand washing here:  Handwashing

  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you’re not around a sink and need to sanitize your hands. 

  • If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your mouth with your arm or a tissue, throw the tissue away immediately.  Read about CDC proper sneezing guidelines here: Coughing + Sneezing

  • Frequently and thoroughly clean shared surfaces like telephones, keyboards, door knobs, elevator buttons, and steering wheels.

  • Do not touch your face (nose, mouth, eyes) as these are prime points of entry for germs.

  • Make sleep a priority. Your body’s immune system does its best work while you’re sleeping. Lack of sleep can reduce the effectiveness of your immune system and make you vulnerable to infection.

  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can be dehydrating.
