As a teacher who has just returned to in person teaching, what I can tell you is starting a business or practice back up, where there is a responsibility for the safety of others, is a very daunting endeavor - much different than getting together with friends or family. The hours of planning the logistics of safety, cleaning, timing, distancing, etc. has so many moving parts. The cost/benefit issue has to be weighed into the equation.

Therapists will return to their offices when restrictions are lifted, when they can manage the logistics in a way that makes being in the office viable. It will come, but when depends on what is going on in each particular state, county, and city - it looks different depending on where you are.

We've started back, but will that last? Is it truly safe? Am I risking my own health or the health of my family? So many unknowns.
