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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnose, develop, and modify treatment plans, and apply various therapeutic interventions. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress but does not diagnose or create treatment plans independently. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card, relevant medical information such as a doctor’s referral if available, reports from recent imaging, and a list of current medications. Wearing comfortable clothing suitable for assessment and movement is also recommended. If you plan to use private insurance, bring your insurance details.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a physician’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance policy’s requirements before your appointment.

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Coverage may be available in certain public settings, such as hospitals or CLSCs, but most outpatient physiotherapy in private clinics is paid out-of-pocket or covered through private insurance. It’s recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and check your private insurance plan for coverage options.
