Covid-19 update

We are glad to welcome our clients back to Kingswood Clinic after lockdown. 

We are hands on therapists and so we will do everything we can to minimise the risk of cross contamination of Covid-19. This is to ensure we are safely carrying out our treatments to the best safest practices possible.

We are following the official guidelines from our Association ISRM and we will be following the government's recommendations in addition to our current hygiene and health and safety practices in our risk assessment that we already follow. This is to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thankyou.
