Symmetry Physical Therapy has been closely following guidelines set out by the CDC for important safety measures to allow for in-person physical therapy sessions during the COVID-19 outbreak. The following are the precautions we are taking at Symmetry Physical Therapy:

  • All patients will be screened with a temperature check and will be required to answer screening questions prior to each appointment.

  • We ask that patients who are experiencing a symptom to please reschedule and work with our staff regarding when it’s safe to return for an appointment.

  • All contact surfaces including treatment tables and equipment will be disinfected with Cavicide in preparation for each patient visit.

  • We are using vinyl pillows in order to properly sanitize.

  • We have air purifiers throughout the clinic. 

  • We are adhering to Chiago’s emergency travel order protocols. https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/covid-19/home/emergency-travel-order.html

  • All patients are asked to attend the appointments individually. For safety reasons, if a patient needs assistance in/out of the clinic then arrangements will be made on a case by case basis. We understand there are exceptions for minors.

  • All therapists and patients are asked to practice hand hygiene, which includes washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds or sanitizing with approved sanitizer.
