At ADRIENNE HASWELL, PHYSIOTHERAPEUTE, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Adrienne frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee significantly impacts their ability to being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children. Adrienne helps patients target effectively managing chronic pain and reclaiming an active lifestyle with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• When that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing playing in your competitive volleyball league again, physiotherapy with Adrienne can help you work towards a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Patients often come to Adrienne feeling defeated by difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving enhanced ability to participate in social and community events and resuming maintaining your balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Adrienne, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies greatly from person to person. It depends on several factors, including the nature and severity of your condition, how long you've had the issue (acute vs. chronic), your individual treatment goals, your body's response to therapy, and how consistently you follow your prescribed home exercise program and self-management advice. Your Physiothérapeute will discuss a proposed treatment frequency and estimated duration after your initial assessment and will continually re-evaluate your progress with you.

What are ADRIENNE HASWELL, PHYSIOTHERAPEUTE's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with some practitioners offering Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call the clinic or check our website for the most current schedule and availability.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services through direct access, meaning a referral from a doctor is not legally required to see a Physiothérapeute. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance policy's requirements before your first visit.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurer before your appointment to understand your coverage limits, co-payments, and whether a referral is necessary. If your plan allows, we can often bill your insurer directly, reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your visit.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master’s level university education, allowing them to assess patients, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and assists physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, helping with exercises, and reporting progress, but does not diagnose or create treatment plans independently.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ, and patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some public coverage may exist for specific cases, such as post-hospitalization or in public clinics, but for most private outpatient physiotherapy, private insurance is used to cover costs. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and your insurance provider.
