From 11:59pm on Wednesday, 22 July, the Victorian Government will be enforcing face coverings for those who need to leave home for one of the four essential reasons. This requirement applies to anyone living in metro Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, with the exception of kids under 12, those who have a professional or medical reason, or if it's not practical, like when you're out running.
At Back In Motion Preston, clients and staff are required to wear a face covering inside the practice.
Enhanced measures for your safety
Your health matters to us, so we have implemented enhanced measures in our practices to ensure that we are able to keep our doors open to help those in pain and in need of Physiotherapy treatment.
The current changes in place include:
- To avoid overcrowding in the reception area, please wait in your car prior to your appointment time.
- For your safety and to help stop the spread of COVID-19, a temperature check may be required upon arrival.
- Staff and clients are required to wear a face covering inside the practice.
- We are continuing to follow strict disinfecting and cleaning procedures.
- We are restricting our practices to one person per four square metres.
- Our rehabilitation studio has been reconfigured to allow for appropriate social distancing and we are following strict disinfecting and cleaning procedures.
Please let us know if you have experienced symptoms including a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath prior to receiving your treatment or attending our classes. The same applies if you have recently been in contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus or suspect that you may have the virus.
If you can't come to us, we can come to you through Telehealth, our new online Physio service. This will allow you to continue treatment with your Physio and stay on the road to recovery. Find out more about Telehealth here.

We hope everyone in our community is holding up OK through the pandemic and wish everyone good health through this period.
Stuart, Verity and the team at BIM Preston
