• Are you finding that awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis) stops you from enjoying challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing? Danny is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a more comfortable and physically manageable pregnancy experience through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Many find that a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) significantly impacts their ability to actively participate in family outings and vacations without holding others back.

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 usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance for coverage. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private extended health benefits, as many plans offer significant coverage for outpatient physiotherapy services.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your first visit, Danny will conduct a thorough evaluation, including a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. A physical assessment will follow to identify the root cause of your condition and assess your physical capabilities. Based on this, Danny will explain his findings, collaborate with you to set realistic goals, and outline a tailored treatment plan. You may receive initial exercises, hands-on treatments, or advice to start your recovery.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly (known as direct access) without a referral from a physician. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy to determine whether a referral is necessary to ensure coverage.

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 program, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, diagnose conditions, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on technical application, assisting physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, helping patients with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to the supervising professional.
