At Kinatex A+ Physio Bromont, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Arianne frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• At Arianne's physiotherapy practice, individuals with needing to improve my breathing patterns or lung capacity are guided towards feeling more like their 'old self' before their injury or condition began. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter.
• If soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise is preventing you from fully enjoying getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting, Arianne offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining feeling significantly stronger and more capable in their physical abilities, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
• Don't let working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery dictate what you can and cannot do.

The clinic is housed within a private facility that is easily accessible and located near local community services and pharmacies. It is well-connected via public transit routes, making it easy for patients to reach. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Street parking and nearby paid lots offer convenient options for visitors.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey and empower you to take an active role in your recovery process. Your Physiothérapeute will carefully select and teach you exercises specific to your needs. These exercises help to reinforce what's done in the clinic, manage your condition effectively, and ensure you continue progressing towards your goals even when you're not in a session.

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. However, 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 to check your insurance policy before your appointment to understand any specific requirements.

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

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn’t settle within a day or two, please contact us. Your Physiothérapeute will want to know so they can provide guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Open communication is essential for a successful recovery.

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, enabling them to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, develop and modify treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, implementing prescribed treatments and guiding exercises but does not diagnose or create treatment plans independently. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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 often pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received directly in hospitals or CLSCs might be covered, but private outpatient physiotherapy typically is not. It is recommended to verify your specific eligibility with RAMQ and review your private insurance coverage.

Is there parking available at or near Kinatex A+ Physio Bromont?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for designated patient spots. Additional street parking is available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is located within walking distance. Please check signage for any restrictions or time limits.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is ideal. Think about what you might wear to the gym or for light exercise. For lower-body treatments, shorts are helpful, while upper-body issues are best addressed with a tank top or loose T-shirt so the Physiothérapeute can properly examine and treat the area.
