Updates

Feb 21st 2021: Waitlist times are up again …..booked out for 4 weeks at present but things often change, so get in touch to be waitlisted. The shutdown has pushed the waiting times a little. Once we begin a treatment plan, it is ideal to have follow ups in a timely manner so booking well ahead is advised.

6th Feb 2021:

At last the waitlist is shrinking and Fit to Function Osteopathy is now accepting a small number of New clients. All appointments are now at 9 Atkinson St, Port Fairy. Monday’s and Tuesday’s at present. There are some spots available in the next few weeks during school hours however the later spots are booked up for some time. Online bookings should re-open shortly once scheduling is sorted.

22nd Dec 2020 - At present, we are going to use the Rear of 9 Atkinson St, Port Fairy for appointments through Jan and Feb next year while we wait for the Koroit plan to take shape. Moyne Health are unable to make the current room available ongoing so we’ll settle in at the spacious and light clinic that is now all set up in Atkinson St. This is the road running down beside the cricket ovals, just near the Childcare and Kinder centre. Parking is available next to the ovals. Enter down driveway. .

With COVID safe measures, things will also look and feel a bit different. Just like all of us! If you are not sure whether you are on the waitlist, let me know.
