At Clinique de physiothérapie St-Lambert, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Anne-Sophie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The journey to successfully integrating safe movement strategies into their daily routines when faced with persistent trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury is made smoother and more effective with Anne-Sophie's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like participating in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises.
• Patients often come to Anne-Sophie feeling defeated by my child walking on their toes most of the time. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day and resuming spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not provide coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance plans. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage options.

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 treatments might cause mild, temporary discomfort, especially if tissues are sensitive or inflamed. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly, and adjust treatments as needed. If you experience unacceptable pain, inform your therapist immediately.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access 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 your insurance policy details before your first visit.

What is Clinique de physiothérapie St-Lambert's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to adjust your appointment.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under supervision, implementing prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress, but does not diagnose or independently plan treatments. Both professions are regulated by the OPPQ.
