To our Patients:
 

The situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop and we know it’s having a significant impact on our patients and community. At Gardena Physical Therapy, we’re monitoring COVID-19 closely and want to let you know about the actions we have taken to reduce risks to our staff, the public and our essential service operations based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local public health officials.

​

We want to inform you that Gardena Physical Therapy is open for business and is well prepared to continue to provide you with reliable therapy services. As an added precaution, we’ve increased the cleaning frequency of all common areas in our clinic.

​

In an effort to keep everyone healthy, we are instructing our staff and recommend to all patients to follow these tips to reduce exposure.  We encourage our patients to review the CDC's recommendations to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

​

Tips on how you can protect yourself from exposure:
 

• Washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds minimum.

• Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Follow guidance from public health officials.

• It is also important that anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, call their health care provider first before seeking medical care so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

• Staying away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.

• If you are feeling ill, please call and cancel your appointment.

• Wash your hands or use the hand sanitizers provided, especially after contact with another person.

• Join us in practicing a No Handshake Policy.
   

Additional health screening questions to help identify patients who are high risk for COVID‐19 infection:
 

• Have you traveled to any of the following countries in the last 14 days: China, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea or most European countries?

• Do you have a fever or signs/symptoms of respiratory illness?
   

If you answer, YES, to both of these questions, we will advise you to be tested and cleared by your physician before continuing treatment at Gardena Physical Therapy.
