Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage

I am committed to delivering exceptional care during these difficult times, as well as ensuring my clients aren’t unnecessarily exposed to COVID-19. The following key principles explain how Mummy Care will manage your face-to-face treatments during the current stage of the pandemic and how I will minimise the risk of infection for my clients, their families, my family and the general public:

1. Clients shall be screened for COVID-19 symptoms at the time of appointment through an online form or verbal screening, results of which shall be recorded on the Client notes. On entry to the clinic for their appointment, Clients shall be screened again to ensure their circumstances have not changed.

2. It is mandatory for the Therapist to wear a Type II face mask and in addition, when hands on treatment takes place a face visor shall also be worn in accordance with the Government Guidelines. The face visor shall be wiped clean between Clients using normal cleaning products.

3. Clients must also wear face covering indoors, as required by the law. If the Client has a medical condition that prevents them from wearing face covering, it is the Therapist’s prerogative to refuse treatment (or additional controls shall be put into practice). 

4. An official NHS QR code will be displayed so that Clients and visitors can ‘check-in’ using this option, as an alternative to providing their contact details. 

5. A signed declaration between the Client and the Therapist will be required before the treatment, to confirm the Client is aware that despite all protocols there is always an element of risk and they are still happy to continue with their treatment.

6. No unnecessary items shall be present on surfaces within the clinic. Items are to be placed in storage cupboards, plastic containers or removed from the treatment room. 

7. Towels and couch cover shall be changed and washed at 60 degrees between Clients. If these cannot be washed immediately, they must be placed either in a sealed plastic bag or storage box and marked as 'Dirty - Do Not Use'.

8. A minimum gap of 15 minutes between Clients shall be observed and, during this time, a window and the door to the treatment room shall be opened to improve air flow, thus reducing the risk of any residual airborne contamination being present.

9. The couch shall be wiped clean using an anti-bacterial product between Clients, even if a couch cover has been used.

10. Between Clients, all door handles on the access/egress route, handrail, window latch and massage lotion container shall be wiped clean using an anti-bacterial cleaner.

11. The floor of the clinic shall be cleaned at the end of the working day.

12. Disposable or single use towels shall be provided in bathrooms that the Client may use. If the Client visits the bathroom during the treatment, all touch points shall be wiped clean.

13. When the Client arrives, they shall sanitise their hands prior to entering the premises. The Therapist shall wash or sanitise their hands directly before starting the treatment and strait after.

14. The Client should pay for treatments either by bank transfer, card or payment link. Exchange of cash should be avoided if possible.

15. If the Client cancels because they are unwell, any cancellation fee shall be waived.

16. The therapist fulfils their duty of care by ensuring they are trained and competent in the procedures necessary for the safeguarding of Clients and the general public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
