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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. While a referral is not legally required to see a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable for patients to verify the specific requirements of their insurance plan before their appointment to ensure coverage.

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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients are typically responsible for payment or may use private insurance. Certain public health coverage may apply if the care is received within a hospital or CLSC under specific conditions. It is recommended to check current RAMQ policies and private insurance plans for coverage details.

What is NXT Generation Physio's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients fairly, we request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, such as 50% of the appointment cost or a set fee, to compensate for reserved time. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to modify your appointment.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

If you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists beyond 48 hours, contact NXT Generation Physio or your healthcare provider promptly. Mild soreness is common and usually resolves quickly, but persistent or worsening symptoms require professional assessment and possible adjustment of your treatment plan.

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 and is authorized to diagnose, assess, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and assisting in patient care without independent diagnosis. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will typically include a comprehensive assessment, discussing your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. A physical examination will follow to identify the source of your issues. The Physiothérapeute will then explain their findings, collaborate with you to set goals, and outline a treatment plan. You may receive initial exercises, advice, or hands-on therapy to start your recovery.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, severity, and response to treatment. Your Physiothérapeute will provide an estimate after the initial assessment and adjust the plan as needed during your care.
