When You Arrive At The Clinic

• We do not have a reception or waiting area. 
• We recommended that you arrive on time for your appointment (not early) as there is no seating available outside the clinic. 
• Your therapist will be there to let you in at your appointment time.

If You Feel Unwell on the Day of your Appointment

We ask that for the safety of everyone at the clinic, anyone testing positive for Covid-19 – even if they are symptom free – or suffering from any other infectious illness, refrain from attending the clinic until the contagious period has passed. We would ask in this instance that you reschedule your appointment.

We must protect any clinically vulnerable therapists or clients and remain committed to the safety and wellbeing of all. We appreciate your understanding.

Arriving at the clinic

What should I do if I am waiting outside the clinic and my therapist hasn’t let me in yet?

Please wait until your appointment time for your therapist to let you into the clinic. If your therapist is running a few minutes late, please wait without knocking, as there are treatments in progress. If you are unsure of your appointment time or wish to speak with your therapist, please contact them directly using their contact details that you used to book your appointment.

Can I bring my bicycle into the clinic?

It is not possible to bring your bicycle into the clinic unless it is a fold-up bike. Bicycles can be left at Sainsbury’s or at Brighton train station.

Disabled Access

Do you have disabled access at the clinic?

We are located in a small courtyard off Fleet Street in a pedestrianised area – for stair-free access information, please take a look at our Accessibility page. The clinic and all treatment rooms are on the ground floor, and there is step-free access into the clinic. 

Is the clinic accessible for wheelchairs?

Everything at the clinic is on the ground-floor level, with step-free access. There is space for you to bring your wheelchair into the treatment rooms, or to leave it in the Common Area. The widths of the doors at the clinic are as follows: Main entrance: 77cm. Bathroom: 87cm. Treatment rooms: 68cm. 

Do you have a disabled access bathroom?

Our gender-neutral bathroom is spacious enough to enter comfortably with a wheelchair. However the dimensions of the bathroom mean that it is not possible to position the wheelchair alongside the toilet. The width of the bathroom door is 87cm. 

How easy is it to get on and off the treatment couches?

All of our treatment couches are fitted with hydraulics, which means that they can be lowered and raised for ease of access. The width of our treatment couches is 70cm (wider than the average 63cm) and they have a weight capacity of 240kg.

We have a detailed Accessibility page, which contains more information about accessing the clinic. If you have any other questions that have not been answered here, please do ask your therapist directly.

Health and Safety at the clinic

What hygiene and sanitation measures do you have in place?   

The clinic is professionally cleaned on a daily basis and hand sanitiser is provided in all rooms. We allow for Ventilation Time for all therapists in order to air the treatment rooms between clients. Our Covid-19 and Illness policy clearly states that appointments are to be rescheduled in the case of any contagious illness with every consideration and care given to the safety of both therapists and clients alike.

Please contact your therapist directly if you have any questions or concerns, and they will be happy to discuss this with you.
