What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiothérapeute to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly through a process known as direct access, without needing a physician's referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in a public hospital or CLSC may be covered under specific conditions. Always verify your private insurance coverage for physiotherapy services.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping individuals improve their movement, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. A Physiothérapeute assesses, diagnoses, and treats injuries and physical impairments through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education. It can help recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, prevent future issues, and improve quality of life.

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

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university education, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and supports physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, and reporting progress.
