COVID and Illness Policy  

 

We are in the business of health and wellness, and therefore require all clients and participants to show proof of vaccination and at least 1 bivalent booster before coming to an in-person session. Virtual sessions are available for those not willing to disclose.

 

For full disclosure, I am fully vaccinated and have received all recommended boosters for working with possibly vulnerable populations. Many of you know me personally, and know that my family has been through many health issues in the past few years.

To keep my vulnerable family members safe & healthy, please do not attend in-person sessions if you, or anyone in your household has any COVID symptoms, cold or flu symptoms, or stomach virus symptoms. You may reschedule your appointment, or let me know if you prefer to keep your time and we can switch to a virtual session through Zoom.

What can you do?

  • Provide proof of COVID vaccination and at least 1 bivalent booster

  • Wearing a mask is highly encouraged.

  • Wash your hands or use provided hand sanitizer when you arrive

What I will do:

  • I will wear a mask for our entire session

  • I will provide masks and hand sanitizer

  • I use a HEPA air purifier in my treatment room that cycles the air less than every 12 minutes

  • All equipment and props used will be cleaned after use

  • All in-person sessions will only be scheduled with 45-60 minutes between sessions.

Medical Release

 

I recognize that exercise carries some risk to the musculoskeletal system (sprains, strains) and the cardiorespiratory system (dizziness, discomfort in breathing, heart attack).

The possibility of certain unusual changes during exercise does exist. They include such conditions as muscle soreness or stiffness, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorders of heart beat and instances of heart attack and death. I hereby acknowledge and accept these risks.

 

To my knowledge, I do not have any limiting physical conditions or disability that would prelude an exercise program.

I hereby certify that I know of no medical problem (except those noted below) that would increase my risk of illness and injury as a result of participation in a regular exercise program.

If a participant chooses not to obtain a physician’s permission, she/he must sign the following statement: I have been informed of the need for a physician’s approval or participation in a progressive exercise/fitness program. I fully understand the strenuous nature of the program. I accept complete responsibility for my health and well-being in the voluntary exercise/fitness program and related testing and understand that no responsibility is assumed by the owner or employees of Phase Movement, LLC.
