We are starting our gradual re-opening of Physiotherapy services starting MONDAY JUNE 1, 2020. Face coverings will be required for all clients for the foreseeable future. Please bring your own mask if you can, cloth masks are preferred. We do have disposable masks if needed. Our physiotherapists will be wearing masks at all times and maintaining a rigorous cleaning schedule. There will be screening for all patients at the front desk and we have added a separate waiting area to maintain distance from the patients of the other practitioners at 797 Lorne St. Online booking is available again for our therapists. Telehealth virtual visits will continue to be available for people who want to maintain social distancing and stay home. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF OUR AMAZING CLIENTS SOON!!

May 11-17, 2020 is Nurses Week! Now more than ever, nurses worldwide are making huge sacrifices to help with the health and wellbeing of the global population. Our healthcare system would not run without them, and we are all very grateful for the extremely important work that nurses do. Thank you!!

Happy Mothers Day! #mothersday #momsrock

Happy National Physiotherapy Month! We are hopeful that we will resume regular client appointments soon, and want all of our current and future clients to know that we are excited and ready to see you all again. If you have been dealing with increased pain, stiffness, or a nagging injury while practicing social distancing, dont wait! Give us a call at 705-923-8864 or email at derek@ampphysiosudbury and I will discuss our current options with you! #physiotherapymonth #virtualphysio #clientcenteredtherapy

From the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario there are 6 major criteria that qualifies you for in-person urgent care: Specifically, situations which could be considered an emergency under this definition include: 1) A patient who is currently experiencing incapacitating neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction or pain.... 2) Any scenario where the inability to initiate care or the withdrawal of care would lead to the significant deterioration of a patients condition and the patient is at risk for imminent hospital admission or re-admission. 3) Post-operative care immediately following surgery when necessary for cardiorespiratory and essential functional mobilization as an in-patient to prevent the delay of a patient being discharged home to the community. 4) Follow-up immediately post-discharge from hospital to the community to ensure safe return to home and prevent re-admission to the hospital. 5) A patient who has suffered from severe musculoskeletal dysfunction, pain or burns. 6) The patient is an individual such as a health care provider in an essential service in an acute care setting or other setting deemed to be essential, whose injury or condition requires the input of a physiotherapist to return to work safely as soon as possible.#urgentcare #physiotherapy See more

This update might be a bit long, but bear with me as I learn the ropes of the Instagram video world. This update covers the question about resuming regular physio services, and announces a new exercise prescription program. Virtual care is also here to stay! ... The biggest change is the addition of 60-minute private follow-up appointments! pricing will be made available on the ampphysiosudbury.com site as well as our booking platform. 30-minute follow ups are getting a small rate reduction as well to go along with the new 60-minute option. The new project I mentioned in my last list in still very much in infancy so was not discussed in this video, but will be a technology/media based endeavour. Stay tuned for that. #covidupdate #virtualphysio #urgentcare #clientcenteredtherapy

Happy Star Wars day! Stay tuned for an update coming later today where I will discuss some small changes that have been made in our service delivery, plans for change in providing services both online and in-clinic once the restrictions on health care facilities are lifted, and a teaser for a new project that is in the brainstorming stage to further our reach as Physiotherapy providers #maythe4thbewithyou #virtualphysio #physitrack #clientcenteredtherapy

Posted @withregram @activetherapyplus On behalf of our Lorne Street Health and Wellness Team, I would like to take a moment to thank all the essential workers who go to work everyday to make sure we can still have food on our tables for those that keep us safe, from retail workers, hospital staff, first responders, and many others. Thank you from our family to yours. #weareallinthistogether #supportlocal #physicaldistancing #washyourhands #covid19 #wewillgetthroughthis @seasonspharmacyandculinaria @drve.nd @round2fitmichelle @danaleeirvine @_s_fraser_ @tyler.shaw24 @cindyserresse

Online Telehealth sessions are now available! If you are experiencing pain or have suffered an injury but dont want to go to a clinic, book a consult online with Derek Weiss, Registered Physiotherapist today! Derek can perform an online assessment to provide you with a diagnosis of your injury as well as next steps for you to take. Education, a home exercise program, and self-care options will also be provided. If the injury is more significant and falls under the Emergency... category, we can also set up an in-person treatment at the clinic. Per the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, emergency care can still be provided as long as proper screening and protective measures are in place. The online assessment will act as a Triage to determine if in-person treatment is required. Online follow-up sessions are also available. Many extended health benefits are now covering telehealth Physiotherapy sessions! #telerehabilitation #socialdistancing #stayhealthy #stayhome See more

I have decided that as of Monday March 23rd, 2020 AMP Physiotherapy Sudbury will be closed until further notice. Based on the growing number of cases across Canada and in light of new Provincial recommendations it is best to discontinue seeing patients. We will continue to provide case management for our MVA and WSIB patients at this time. Please reach out to us if you have any emergencies as we will continue to provide guidance as much as we can. Cindy and myself (Derek) wou...ld like to emphasize the importance of following social distancing recommendations, and wish everyone in the Sudbury community health and happiness in the coming weeks. We will post updates periodically as new information comes available. Thank you for your support, and remember to support local business as much as possible now more than ever #supportlocalbusiness #socialdistancing #stayhome See more

COVID-19 Update: After carefully considering the impact of COVID-19 locally, and in keeping with recommendations from the Ontario Physiotherapy Association and College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, AMP Physiotherapy Sudbury will be reducing our hours of operation and patient load as of Monday, March 23rd for the forseeable future. Currently scheduled appointments this week will remain as-is.... We will be contacting any clients that fall into the "vulnerable" category to cancel, and will only be taking appointments on an "as needed" basis. We understand the importance of social distancing and good hygiene protocols at this time, but we also understand that the daily function of some of our clients will be greatly affected if they have no access to care for an extended period of time. Our standard practice of only seeing clients 1-on-1 allows us complete control of our physical environment, and all contact precautions are being taken. Sanitization efforts have been increased exponentially at this time as well. We ask that if any of our clients believe they may have been in contact with someone exposed to COVID-19, or are showing any signs and symptoms of ANY form of illness, that they call to cancel their scheduled appointments. There will be NO cancellation fees applied. **Please keep in mind this is a fluid situation, and we are monitoring all local, provincial, and federal announcements in real time to ensure we continue to maintain a safe practice. Things may change hourly, and we are prepared to take appropriate action based on this ever-changing situation** As of March 23, 2020 hours of operation will be Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. We will NOT be taking new WSIB clients at this time as we cannot guarantee compliance with expected WSIB treatment plan delivery. New PRIVATE and MVA (car accident) clients will be screened prior to coming into the clinic and taken only on an URGENT basis. Please call the clinic at (705) 674-2222 or email [email protected] if you have been injured and need care at this time. Our goal is to try and keep those with new injuries out of the walk-in clinics and hospital at this time, and provide them with treatment and guidance for self-management at home during this time of social distancing.

To Our Valued Clients, We are doing our part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please check out our updated policy. Feel free to call the office with any questions or concerns. **As per the Government of Canadas new position on travellers entering Canada, if you or a family member has gone on a trip outside of Canada, you will NOT be scheduled for (or able to attend previously scheduled) treatment for a period of FOURTEEN (14) days following re-entry into Canada**... Please see the link below for more information on travel: https://www.canada.ca//20/latest-travel-health-advice.html COVID-19 Policy: Health & Safety Protocols and Updated Cancellation Policy In light of the COVID-19 virus outbreak, we at AMP Physiotherapy Sudbury want to ensure our clients that our main priority is still your health and we are committed to providing a safe and clean environment to our clients, families and staff. In accordance with the Public Health protocols and our own high standards, we want to share the steps and protocols that we have in place to help protect anyone entering our clinic. HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS: We have hand sanitizers throughout the clinic including each room We are frequently disinfecting all common areas and high use surfaces We wipe down tables/treatment surfaces/equipment and change the treatment table linens (towels, pillow cases, etc.) after each appointment Our therapists wash and disinfect their hands before and after each appointment WHAT WE ARE ASKING OUR CLIENTS AND FAMILIES TO DO: Wash/disinfect your hands upon entering the clinic and again before you leave. If you are using any equipment in our gym, please continue to use the disinfectant spray available in the gym to clean the equipment after each use. TEMPORARY CANCELLATION POLICY: If you are experiencing any respiratory or flu-like symptoms, have been in contact with an individual suspected or confirmed as having COVID-19 or have travelled to any areas where the Coronavirus is spreading, we would ask that you wait a period of 14 days before coming to an appointment. If this applies to you, please call our clinic at (705) 674-2222 to reschedule your appointment as soon as possible.
