Coronavirus - Prevail Physical Therapy

Out of consideration to our staff and other patients, we are asking patients that have been sick in the last 10 days to consider a mask.

If you have tested positive for COVID, please note the following requirements before entering the clinic:

1. Minimum of 5 days from the start of COVID symptoms or positive test

2. Significantly reduced symptoms demonstrating resolving illness

All Prevail staff are vaccinated and boosted.

Masks are still no longer required for healthcare settings. If not currently masked, clinicians will ask each patient at the start of their appointment if the patient would prefer a mask to be worn by the clinician. Clinicians will honor patients’ masking preference.

As always, we continue to sanitize rooms and equipment between patients, as well as continuing our check-in protocol of symptom screen.

Prevail continues to navigate through this pandemic and provide our community with the best patient care, we rely heavily on both national and local health care guidelines to create a safe treatment environment for all our patients, clients, and staff.

As of 04/03/23, masks are longer required in healthcare facilities per the Washington State DOH. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to update their guidelines and we continue to modify our policies and procedures to follow those guidelines. Here is a link to review their latest guidelines regarding COVID19 in general, as well as specific recommendations regarding vaccines, masks, testing, exposure response, etc.

As always, we continue to sanitize rooms and all equipment between patients, as well as continuing our check-in protocol of symptom screen. We will continue our diligence and compliance with the CDC and Washington State DOH and encourage all our patients to do so as well.

We appreciate those who have supported us, are honored to serve you, and welcome questions, comments, and suggestions.
