COVID-19 Procedure Changes
To meet the requirements set out by the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan, Sirius Health is making changes to both our scheduling procedure and our treatment procedures. The new procedures will remain in place until the Government of Saskatchewan reaches Phase 5 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan.
Changes when you book online
Our biggest concern moving forward is to eliminate the possibility of overlapping start and end times between our respective customers, and to temporarily discontinue treatments that increase the risk of exposure needlessly.
- CHANGE #1: You must book at least 24 hours in advance.As Florence and I now need to coordinate our appointments to prevent overlap, we will now require you to book at least 24 hours in advance.
- CHANGE #4: You may cancel your appointment up to 2 hours before your appointment without penalty.We absolutely do not want you coming for an appointment if you have any symptoms of COVID-19, so we are now allowing you to cancel your appointment as little as 2 hours in advance.
- CHANGE #5: We are not offering all massage services.Head massages, 4 Hand massages and Couple's massages increase the risk for both you and us, so we have deactivated these services from our system for the time being.
- CHANGE #6: All Couple's massages must be done in separate rooms.We have always given couples the option to be together in the same room or to be in separate rooms. With few exceptions, most couples have chosen separate rooms as the additional space let Florence and I do more of the larger Thai stretches. But going forward, this will be the only option, as putting four people together in a small room is asking for trouble.
Changes when you arrive
In the pre COVID-19 world, we were proud of all the extra time that we gave you during a visit to Sirius Heath. But for the time being, Florence and I will be making the following changes to how we set up our appointments.
Thai Massage Clinic
- CHANGE #1: You may only arrive 5 minutes before your appointment.There will be no pre- or post-treatment amenities, so please do not arrive before your appointment. If you arrive early and we are prepared for you, we will start your appointment immediately and not add that time to your treatment as we did before.
- CHANGE #2: You may not bring anyone else to your appointment.Our reception area will not be open to anyone except our clients. If you do arrive with family or friends, they will have to find something else to do for the duration of your appointment.
- CHANGE #3: You must wear a mask.Florence and I will be wearing masks during our massages, and we ask that you bring your own mask. If you happen to forget, we will have masks available for you to wear for your entire visit.
- CHANGE #4: You must use hand sanitizer when you first arrive.We will have a hand sanitizer dispenser at the door for you to use upon entry.
- CHANGE #5: You must wear your own loose-fitting clothes and change in the treatment room.Rather than risk cross-contamination in our Bamboo Room, we will bring you directly to your treatment room when you arrive. If you are not already wearing loose-fitting clothing, you can change in the treatment room and we will provide you a plastic bag for your clothing. If you do not have loose clothing available or forget to bring some, we will bring you pants and a shirt to wear. But you will not have access to the Bamboo Room.
- CHANGE #6: There will be no foot washing before the treatment.As much as we loved to start our sessions with a foot washing, we will instead use a warm cloth on your feet before we begin your Thai massage.
- CHANGE #7: We will not do any face massage during your massage.Obviously there is significant potential for contamination with a face massage, but more important, it is logistically impossible to offer since you are wearing a mask.
- CHANGE #8: You must leave immediately after your appointment.Again, as much as we loved sitting down with you for tea and snacks, we will not be offering these amenities for the time being.
- CHANGE #9: You must use hand sanitizer when you leave.Again, we will have a hand sanitizer dispenser at the door for you to use as you leave our clinic.
Fitness Studio
- CHANGE #1: There will only be one trainer present.Each class will only have one trainer present to maximize the number of students who can attend the class.
- CHANGE #2: You may not bring anyone else to your class.Our fitness studio will not be open to anyone except our students. If you do arrive with family or friends, they will have to find something else to do for the duration of your appointment.
- CHANGE #3: You do not need to bring a mask.We will have tape on the floor to mark where each student needs to stand to allow 2 metres of distance between students. You may bring a mask to wear if you wish, but it will not be mandatory.
- CHANGE #4: You can only enter the studio immediately before your class.Please show up just before the class, ready to go. If there is a class or appointment prior to your class, we will open the door for people to enter after the previous class is over and the other participants have left.
- CHANGE #5: You must use hand sanitizer when you first arrive.We will have a hand sanitizer dispenser at the door for you to use upon entry.
- CHANGE #6: You must wear your own workout clothes.The bathroom will not be accessible for changing, so please wear your workout clothing to your class.
- CHANGE #7: Bring your own sweat towel.To reduce to amount of laundry we need to do each day, we will not be providing you any towel to use during the workout.
- CHANGE #8: You do not need to bring your own equipment.You may bring your own yoga mats or other equipment if you wish, but this is optional. We are structuring the programs so that people won't be sharing equipment or that there's enough time to clean everything for the next person to use. We have lysol cleaners and paper towel to wipe down equipment, and hand-sanitizers and soap and water to wash hands.
- CHANGE #9: You may not use the shower in the studio.To reduce the time required for cleaning, and to ensure that all classes can start on schedule, the shower will not be accessible for students.
- CHANGE #10: You must leave immediately after your class.To ensure that there is no overlap between students, you will need to leave the class as soon as it is over.
- CHANGE #11: You must use hand sanitizer when you leave.Again, we will have a hand sanitizer dispenser at the door for you to use as you leave our clinic.
We have tried to think through everything as well as possible, but we have undoubtedly overlooked something. Going forward, please refer to this page to review these changes and any additional changes as they arise.
