At Clinique soins urbains, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Elisabeth frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• It's truly rewarding for Elisabeth to witness patients conquer tendonitis pain flaring up in their shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot and experience getting their strength back after surgery or a period of inactivity. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation again.
• Many find that difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain significantly impacts their ability to maintain balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails. Elisabeth helps patients target enjoying less stiffness in the mornings and throughout the day with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Are you finding that recovering from a burn and needing help with scar mobility and movement stops you from enjoying resuming your weightlifting routine at the gym safely? Elisabeth is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve your mobility goals, whether big or small, through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Elisabeth, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your first visit, the Physiotherapy Technologist will conduct a detailed evaluation to get a full picture of your condition. This usually involves a thorough discussion about your symptoms, how they impact your daily life, any relevant medical history, and your personal goals for therapy. A physical assessment will then be performed to help pinpoint the cause of your problem and assess your physical capabilities. Afterwards, your therapist will explain their findings, collaborate with you to set treatment goals, and outline a proposed plan of care. You’ll likely receive some initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to begin your recovery journey.

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

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor’s referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting their criteria. It is advisable to verify your specific eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They deliver care by implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to supervising professionals.

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

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