- What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
- Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapy Technologist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.
- Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
- This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapy Technologist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

- Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for potential reimbursement.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapy Technologist in QC?
- Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider before your appointment.
- Will I be given exercises to do at home?
- Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial part of physiotherapy treatment. Alexiane will prescribe exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals to help you manage symptoms between sessions, accelerate recovery, and promote long-term self-management. Active participation is essential for optimal results.
- What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?
- A Physiothérapeute has completed a master’s-level university education, enabling autonomous assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and plays a vital role in implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under supervision.
