Spring Greetings!

As we find ourselves in another stay-at-home order here in Ontario, it seems time for another update....thank goodness the weather is getting warmer.

*A few updates, changes and new offerings*

I remain open for both in-person and online appointments.

As we are all encouraged to stay home for all but essential reasons, it's a good time to re-assess whether we need to meet in-person for your appointments.

If you would like to learn more about what we are able to do during an online or "virtual" appointment, please refer to my post here, or feel free to be in touch about your specific case.

I will be transitioning my schedule to Mondays and Wednesdays in the clinic, for in-person appointments

and

Tuesdays and Fridays for online appointments.

Thursdays will flex, depending on demand.

*If you currently have an in-person appointment booked on a Tuesday or Friday, you do not need to reschedule it. I may reach out to you though, to see if a Monday or Wednesday would work for you instead.

I am now a Certified Pilates Instructor!

As many of you know, I am passionate about using movement and exercise to help you heal and feel better in your day to day life.

I can now offer both Clinical Pilates and Clinical Yoga sessions: one-on-one sessions that are tailored to address your individualized needs, injuries and goals.

These sessions are billed at my usual physiotherapy rates and can be billed as Physiotherapy through your health benefits. They are also another excellent online option, done from the comfort of your own home.

Please reach out if you'd like to know more or book a session!

Online Group Fitness Classes

I teach an online Yoga Class every Thursday from 12:05-12:50pm. It is a gentle, 45 minute class with a different focus each week, working on whole body mobility. Each class is $10.

Starting the week of May 17th, I will be adding a Pilates Class in the week as well. It will be a 45 minute class, online, on Tuesday mornings. Specific time TBD. Each class will be $10.

Please let me know if you're interested in trying either class.

Lastly, unfortunately COVID has significantly increased the cost of running an in-person practice. I have resisted increasing my rates in the middle of a pandemic, but it has become unavoidable.

As of Monday May 3rd, 2021 there will be a $5 increase for all in-person appointments:

Initial Assessment will change from $110 to $115

30 minute appointment will change from $75 to $80

45 minute appointment will change from $100 to $105

60 minute appointment will change from $125 to $130

Virtual appointment rates will remain the same.

It has been three years now since I opened Root Physiotherapy here in Waterloo, and I am so happy to be back, serving the community where I was born and raised.

Thank you for your ongoing trust, cooperation and support.

Best wishes for a safe and healthy spring season.

Sincerely,

Sarah
