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 through private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private extended health insurance plans for possible coverage.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Andréane can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. Through targeted exercises, education on proper mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modifications, physiotherapy can reduce your injury risk and help manage chronic conditions effectively, keeping you active and healthy.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the public health law 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 requirements before your appointment.

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

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments but not diagnosing. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial appointment usually lasts about 60 minutes, including assessment and treatment planning. Follow-up sessions generally range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and patient needs.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy includes hands-on techniques like joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, and manipulations aimed at reducing pain, increasing joint mobility, relaxing muscles, and improving nerve function. It is a core component of physiotherapy to facilitate better movement and pain relief.
