“Hats off to Martha Purdy and her team on a seamless reopening Friday June 5th at Synergy Physio Pilates. I was fortunate enough to have a Physio appointment to follow up on the start I had with Martha virtually for an injury that occurred just pre Covid. I was a little nervous as I arrived but Martha put me completely at ease, first by sending out emails earlier in the week on what to expect and then in person, walking me verbally through the process to prevent possible contamination (from washing of hands pre and post treatment to where to put my bag down and physical distancing in the waiting room). Continually checking to make sure I was comfortable with each step. Every detail was carefully considered and I felt both professionally and emotionally cared for, progressing me further toward full recovery. Thank you Martha!”Read moreShow less
