At Physio GO (Ville-Émard), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Aziza frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients often come to Aziza feeling defeated by managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling significantly stronger and more capable in their physical abilities and resuming giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• The path to recovery from pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints) and achieving a better understanding of ergonomics for their work and home environment for tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence often starts with expert guidance. Aziza, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) and achieved waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness under the skilled care of Aziza. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as going on birdwatching outings in various terrains with a new lease on life.

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

In Québec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to confirm their specific requirements.

Does Physio GO (Ville-Émard) offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Physio GO (Ville-Émard) offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing is not available for your insurer, we provide detailed receipts that you can submit for reimbursement. Always verify your coverage and any maximums or deductibles directly with your insurer.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans, helping with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under supervision. Both roles are integral to patient care but differ in their scope of practice and level of autonomy.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

It is helpful to bring your health card, any referral letters, relevant medical test reports (X-rays, MRIs), and your insurance information if applicable. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement during the assessment to facilitate a thorough evaluation.

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Coverage may be available in specific cases, such as post-hospitalization or through certain programs for low-income seniors or individuals with specific conditions. Most outpatient physiotherapy in private clinics is paid out-of-pocket or covered by private insurance. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage options.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by your Physiotherapy Technologist to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, relax muscles, and enhance nerve mobility. Common methods include joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, joint glides, and manipulations, all aimed at restoring optimal movement and alleviating discomfort.
