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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly through a process known as direct access, without the need for a physician's referral. However, it is important to note that some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify the specific requirements of their insurance policies before their first appointment to ensure coverage.

What are Physio Logique's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

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 through private insurance. Some coverage may be available if the care is received within a public hospital or CLSC meeting specific criteria. Patients are advised to confirm their eligibility with RAMQ and review their private insurance plans for coverage options.

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 autonomy to assess patients, diagnose, and develop treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) has a college diploma focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments, assisting in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, and applying modalities under supervision.

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

Patients should bring their health card, any referral letters, relevant medical test reports, and insurance information. Wearing comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement is also recommended to facilitate assessment and treatment.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. Some discomfort or stretching sensations may occur, especially in initial stages, but treatments are tailored to your comfort. Emilie will guide you through each step, making sure the experience is as positive as possible with the goal of improving your condition.
