• The good news is that we can offer face-to-face essential physiotherapy and Telehealth services. 

• Unfortunately all Pilates and Exercise sessions will be paused until Friday 11th June. 

• Call JBA Physio on Monday to book an appointment either face-to-face or via telehealth, or to seek further clarification from our JBA team. 

The following information is available on the DHHS website under Health Care:

• You can leave home to receive health care or attend medical appointments.

• If you need to see a doctor or health care professional, you should do so. Your doctor or health care professional can provide advice on how to stay safe.

All physio Pilates and exercise classes have been paused until the current lockdown ends. We intend to resume all on-site services on Friday, 11th June 2021.
