Frequently Asked Questions
1. What safety measures does Pain & Performance follow during COVID-19?
2. How effective are UV-C lights for sanitization?
UV-C light has been proven to reduce viruses and bacteria on surfaces significantly. In fact, studies show UV-C light can deactivate 99.9% of viruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19, within seconds. Pain & Performance uses 200-watt UV-C sanitization between sessions to ensure maximum safety for all clients.
3. Does Pain & Performance require mask-wearing during sessions?
Yes, masks are mandatory for both clients and therapists throughout the session. Wearing a mask can reduce virus transmission by up to 70%, according to the CDC. This policy ensures that we maintain a safe environment for everyone during your therapy sessions.
4. How often are therapy rooms cleaned at Pain & Performance?
Therapy rooms are thoroughly sanitized after each client session. High-touch surfaces are disinfected with 70% alcohol solutions, and the room is further treated with UV-C light to eliminate any lingering viruses or bacteria. Our aim is to create a safe and sterile environment for every client visit.
5. Why is social distancing important in a therapy environment?
Although close contact is inevitable during therapy sessions, we practice social distancing whenever possible to minimize unnecessary exposure. According to health experts, maintaining distance reduces virus transmission by up to 85%, making it a key part of our COVID-19 safety strategy.
6. How does HEPA filtration improve air quality in therapy rooms?
HEPA filters capture 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, allergens, and viruses. By using HEPA filtration, we ensure that the air circulating in therapy rooms is as clean as possible, reducing the risk of airborne virus transmission.
7. What are the benefits of airflow control in reducing COVID-19 risk?
Proper airflow control simulates outdoor conditions, which, according to research, reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission by 19 times compared to indoor settings. Pain & Performance is working on implementing this to further safeguard clients during sessions.
8. Are there any specific sanitization protocols for clients before their session?
Yes, clients are required to wash their hands thoroughly before their session begins. This simple action can reduce germ transmission by up to 80%, making it a crucial part of our COVID-19 safety protocols. Handwashing stations are available in every therapy room for your convenience.
9. Why does Pain & Performance monitor CDC guidelines for COVID-19?
The CDC is the leading authority on public health, providing up-to-date and science-backed information on COVID-19. By consistently following CDC guidelines, Pain & Performance ensures that our safety measures are in line with the latest expert recommendations, offering the best protection for our clients.
