All masked and face shielded up and ready to go! All masked and face shielded up and ready to go! We will remain open during stage 4 lockdown unless told otherwise by our association. We have received an update tonight that we can continue for now but we have a new requirement. As of tomorrow all customers will require a doctor or specialist referral for treatment. Anyone with bookings in the system, rest assured, we will be contacting you over the coming days so we can help with this process or to discuss changing to Telehealth where appropriate. Many GPs in our area are on board with what Myothrive can provide the community in terms of treatment and management of acute and chronic pain. If you need some help getting the referral please let us know and we can put you in contact with a clinic or GP who understands what we do here. If you have any questions at all, please DM us. We will endeavour to keep you informed of any further information as it become available. In the meantime, stay safe Melbourne 😷
At this stage we are able to remain open as an ess At this stage we are able to remain open as an essential allied health based service. We are awaiting confirmation via the Myotherapy Association of Australia to confirm this 100% and expect to hear by tomorrow evening at the latest. With stage 4 restrictions in place you will be able to travel more than 5km to attend your consultation. If you get stopped by authorities, please provide your text message reminder as proof of your appointment. In alignment with new PPE guidelines we will now be wearing both masks and eye protection. As you may know, we already wear gloves throughout your session, check temperatures and do pre session checks. We spray all possibly contaminated surfaces and anything we have touched throughout the session. We allow a 10 minute gap between each customer to be able to thoroughly perform this task. We are doing everything we can possibly think of to ensure your safety should you require our services during this time. As before we ask that you consider the essential nature of your visit to us and whether you may be able to achieve your desired outcome via a Telehealth (video) consult. We also remind you to reschedule your appointment and go get tested if you have even the smallest of symptoms of COVID-19. These symptoms may include (but not limited to) fever, chills, a sore throat, loss of sense of smell or a runny nose. We are getting tested every fortnight and may increase this to weekly as we move forward, this is to ensure we don't have an asymptomatic case of the virus. Please DM us if you have any questions or concerns. We will endeavour to keep you updated as we hear new information. Stay safe Melbourne!
You are not alone if you do. Did you know that 1 i You are not alone if you do. Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians suffer with persistent pain? That number rises to 1 in 3 in people over the age of 65 and women seem to suffer more frequently than men. Persistent pain is a multifaceted problem that often requires a multifaceted approach. At Myothrive we aim to relieve persistent pain by making sure multiple areas that feed into the pain cycle are being addressed. If you'd like to know more, we are here to help. Simply DM us and we will organise a free no obligation phone consultation to discuss how we may be able to assist. (sources: Australian Pain Society and Pain Australia)
