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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if it meets their criteria, but outpatient private physiotherapy is usually not included. It is important to verify your specific eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan, as many extended health plans offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and improve function, not to cause significant or lasting pain. Some assessment techniques or specific treatments might cause mild, temporary discomfort or soreness, especially if tissues are sensitive or inflamed. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly about what to expect, and encourage open feedback. If you experience notable or unacceptable pain during treatment, please inform your therapist immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) 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 patient assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and apply therapeutic interventions independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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, a practice known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy's specific requirements before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, your goals, and your response to therapy. Amira will discuss an estimated treatment plan after your initial assessment and will monitor your progress throughout your care journey.
