Our pledge to you

 

It has now been confirmed that therapists can return to work so I will be following the COVID-19 guidelines produced by the government and the FHT which you can find below - this will show what you can expect from me when coming for a treatment/training and what will be expected of you to ensure that everyone's safety is the main focus.
