At Kinatex Îles-des-Soeurs, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Brian frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Through personalized physiotherapy at Brian's clinic, common concerns like an awkward gait or limping when I walk are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips.
• With Brian's help, managing that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees to achieve achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• Many find that a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) significantly impacts their ability to engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours. Brian helps patients target improved core stability and control, leading to better posture and reduced strain with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

Is there parking available at or near Kinatex Îles-des-Soeurs?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Additional street parking may be available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is often accessible within a short walking distance. Please check local signage for specific restrictions and hours.

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 use private insurance. Care received within a hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurer before your first appointment to understand your coverage limits, co-payments, and whether a referral is required. If your plan allows direct billing, our clinic can often bill your insurer directly, reducing your upfront costs. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment.

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, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment to confirm requirements.
