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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services performed in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC (if eligible) might be covered. It's important to verify your specific eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy, enabling them to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress without diagnosing. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What is Clinique Alta Physio's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows without sufficient notice. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and improve function. Some treatments may cause mild, temporary discomfort, but your therapist will always work within your tolerance and communicate clearly. If you experience significant pain, please inform your therapist immediately.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a referral, known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement. It's advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on techniques performed by your Physiotherapy Technologist to assess and treat joints, muscles, and nerves. These techniques aim to decrease pain, improve mobility, and restore function, including joint mobilizations, soft tissue releases, and manipulations if appropriate and within the therapist's scope.
