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, while a referral isn't legally required to start physiotherapy, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by Physiothérapeutes to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This includes joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic movements), joint manipulation (high-velocity thrusts when appropriate), soft tissue mobilization (massage, myofascial release), and neural mobilization. The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve mobility, restore joint mechanics, and promote tissue healing.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation. Your Physiothérapeute will teach you specific exercises tailored to your condition, helping you reinforce progress made during therapy, manage symptoms, and continue improving outside of sessions.

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university program, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma focused on technical application, assisting physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, helping with exercises, and reporting progress under supervision.

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

Please bring your health card, any relevant referral letters, imaging reports, a list of current medications, and your insurance details for direct billing. Wearing comfortable clothes will also help facilitate assessment and treatment.

Is physiotherapy covered by RAMQ in QC?

Generally, physiotherapy in private clinics is not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Publicly funded physiotherapy may be available in specific circumstances or settings, such as hospitals or CLSCs, but most outpatient private care requires private coverage. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your insurance provider for coverage options.
