Whilst the stay-at-home advice by the Government is in place, all the clinics that I work at are closed until further notice. I will be staying indoors just like everyone else, I have well controlled asthma but am taking the advice very seriously. Its a numbers game - every time we go out we put ourselves and those who live with us at risk. You can be fit as a flea for 14 days, being especially contagious on the day before you feel at all unwell. Whilst it may be a question of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ we catch it, at the moment if we can help slow down the spread so that our NHS can cope until testing is more widely available, that is the best we can all do.

If you are a patient in desperate need I can offer telephone, Skype, or FaceTime advice, or more formally an assessment via videocall, where I can offer advice and any self-help measures and suggest the right exercises. Equally if you are a patient who was in the beginning or middle of treatment when lockdown was announced, and had your appointment cancelled, get in touch to discuss what extra things you should now be doing to manage your own recovery.

Sometimes just knowing what you should and shouldn’t be doing can relieve symptoms until hands - on help can be given. Everyone seems to be an expert and all the contradictory advice on the Internet can be more confusing. I have already helped a vulnerable patient with Parkinson’s Disease in this way, and several patients with acute back strains, and it works very well.

***Update 26 April 2020: Should it be absolutely necessary to see you, within the appropriate guidelines, I can see you face-to-face at Deva Yoga Studio and have PPE and the appropriate hygiene protocols in place.***

For this you need to first book a video call for triage. Cliniko, my clinic software has bought in secure telehealth appointments and secure online payment by card, especially for the pandemic.

I look forward to helping you the best I can.
