Dear valued clients
Due to the new Covid restrictions it saddens me to inform you that Somerville Physiotherapy will have to close for the 5 day lockdown as we are not allowed to do face to face treatments.
If you have a Physiotherapy or Hydrotherapy appointment from Saturday thru to Wednesday we will need to reschedule your appointment, a staff member will be in touch as soon as possible.
Hopefully we will be back and treating on Thursday , fingers crossed 🤞
Regards
Cameron ,Fiona and staff at Somerville

HYDROTHERAPY IS BACK!

Dear Clients
Hydrotherapy is coming back at long last! I have missed you all!

There have been some changes:
Days are still Tuesday and Thursday, but the times have been allocated to us by Core24 so have changed to a 1:30 pm or a 2:30 pm time slot. Basically, it is come to the pool, do your exercise program and leave.

There are NO changing facilities, so you need to come ready in your bathers then dry quickly and go home to shower
We will need to keep the social distancing of 1.5 m between every client whilst in and out of the pool

Booking is still through Somerville Physiotherapy so please ring and secure a spot, numbers will be limited.
Looking forward to seeing you all
Fiona
