Based on the recommendations of the Public Health Agency of Canada and the provincial and municipal governments, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association recognizes that, in most outpatient settings, clinics should be closed to respect the social distancing protocols being rolled out across the nation. In support of the recommendations by Public Health authorities to optimize social distancing, we recommend that physiotherapy services in the community only be offered to patien...ts with urgent needs. Those whose care and services can be postponed, or can be provided virtually, we strongly recommend doing so until at least after March 30. We recognize that these are exceptional times that require exceptional measures aimed to reduce the spread of the virus and to reduce the demand on the health system. There are some limitations yes, but there is a lot I can do as a Physiotherapist to support your rehabilitation in this way until we can meet in person again. Sincerely Todd Lacey PT Reach out to us through email at [email protected] or phone at 902-881-8888.

Hello, we are reaching out to you because we want to be sure that you are okay. We are continuing to do what is needed to prevent COVID-19 from gaining a foothold in our community, keeping you and your family safe, and helping you with your physiotherapy. Thankfully, our staff have not traveled recently and remain healthy. We are now working on an encrypted telehealth option and, for the short term, are moving to video appointments. Many of the private insurers we work with (... for example Blue Cross, Manulife, Sunlife) recognize the extraordinary circumstances we are presently facing and are offering telehealth coverage for physiotherapy. We will offer private and confidential consultation with one-on-one education and professional advice. Please e-mail us at [email protected] for an appointment and to answer any of your questions. Dont let your injury go untreated during this time of social distancing. Sincerely, Todd Lacey PT See more

This is a crucial period for Nova Scotians to prevent over-stressing our emergency healthcare system. Social distancing is th...e most responsible action in preventing transmission.. We are currently reaching out to active patients and those newly seeking physiotherapy service to address your needs. We understand physiotherapy is an essential service. We are looking into methods that allow us to address your needs. If you are in urgent need please contact us. The preferred way to do so would be through e-mail. Voice mail will remain an option for those that cannot e-mail. We are looking forward to resuming our service to you, and will continue to monitor for when it is appropriate to do so. Stay strong, stay calm, and have patience. Thank you. Sincerely, Todd Lacey PT
