COVID-19

March 2022

At this time, the government has lifted all COVID-19 restrictions however as always, I will proceed with caution.  I will continue the high standard of sanitation both in my treatment space as well as on all touch areas.  As and where possible, we will maintain some distance and continue to have ventilation from an open window.  If you would like me to wear a face covering I am more than happy to do so, just let me know.  I would ask that should you be unwell that you let me know at your earliest opportunity so that we can rearrange the treatment; If I am unwell I will let you know as soon as I can and we will rearrange the treatment.

UPDATE 07/01/21

Based on the new government guidelines and the third national lockdown I can currently only able provide treatment to dog’s where their mobility or welfare would be compromised without treatment.  I am however still able to support clients remotely as I did in the March national lockdown.  please contact me to discuss your dog’s requirements; please find below, a couple of options.

Option 1 – Remote treatment over Skype or Zoom

How it works

You will receive instructional clips talking you through  a couple of techniques that will be suitable for you to use on your own dog.  We then arrange a time to ‘meet’ over Zoom and I guide you through a treatment with your dog. Please contact me for bookings or if you would like further information.

Cost £35

Option 2 – Bespoke Exercise plan for your dog

How it works

You will receive a bespoke exercise plan for your dog and their individual needs.  You will not need any specialised kit and it can all be done at home with things you already have. Please contact me for bookings or any further information

Cost £40  – this cost includes the bespoke plan and 2 feedback sessions from me.

Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Programme

All Galen Myotherapists are still able to offer the well established Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Programme as well as our recently updated Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Plus Programme.

Distance Support Programme; How it works

This is a well established programme that has been used with wonderful results. Using information that you as the owner provide about your dog, I will give a visual postural assessment of your dog as well as looking at their environment and daily habits to assess your dog’s comfort levels and muscular health.  You will then receive a written assessment as well as the tools and support needed to apply two practical massage techniques which you can apply to your dog.  You will receive continued support throughout the programme and I will do a progress report after 6 weeks so you can see all the improvements you are making to your dog’s  mobility and comfort levels.

Distance Support Plus Programme; How it works

The 8 week DSP+ package incorporates all the same benefits as the DSP package but with the additional benefit of a tailormade home exercise programme.  This is a personalised programme for your dog, aiming to improve their overall mobility, strength and flexibility. The programme features Galen’s unique functional biomechanics exercises and does not require any specialist equipment and can be done at home or in the garden.

Costs

The cost of the 6 week Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Programme is £125

The cost of the 8 week Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Plus Programme is £199

Please contact me for bookings and further information.

Please note: these programmes do not replace Veterinary care, if you are worried about your dog, please contact your Veterinary Surgeon.

These programmes also do not replace the full Galen Myotherapy treatment and programme but we are committed to maintaining your dog’s health and these programmes will enable me to assist them during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreaks. 

 

UPDATE 03/11/20

Based on the new government guidelines and the upcoming 2nd lockdown period in England, Pawsitive Touch will still be able to offer treatments throughout this period, to those dogs whose health or welfare will suffer without their regular Galen Myotherapy treatments.  These will take place in Surbiton in The Pawsitive Pod.  Details, directions, parking and COVID-19 safety measures will be emailed to each client prior to their dog’s treatment.  All risk assessment procedures have been updated.

There is also the option of a Zoom session for current clients as well as functional exercise sessions and the Galen Myotherapy Distance Support Programme is still available for new clients.  Click here to find out more.

 

UPDATE:  16/10/20

Based on the  government decision (dated 15/10/20) to move London to Tier 2 of the COVID-19 alert level (as of 17/10/20,) I wanted to reassure clients that having reviewed my risk assessment procedures, treatments with me will continue, as long as it is safe to do so.  These treatment will be outdoors or in extreme weather conditions,  in an open doorway.  2m social distancing must be maintained at all times.

As of 29th June 2020

I will be resuming face to face treatments whilst following all government guidelines.  These include (but are not exclusive to;)

  •  COVID-19 updated risk assessment
  • Completion of COVID -19 safety course
  • Only treating outdoors with no access to indoors
  • Maintaining social distancing (2m)
  • Excellent hand hygiene and cleaning procedures
  • Wearing appropriate PPE

If you would like to book a treatment for your dog, please contact me so that I can go through a personal risk assessment with you.

Your safety is of paramount importance to me whilst also ensuring that the way that I work with you and your dog remains unchanged. The principles of choice led and dog centred treatment will always be a priority.

I will however still also be offering all  ‘remote’ treatment options both for existing and new clients.  For full details of these, please see below.
