At Action Sport Physio (Centre-Ville), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Éric-Olivier frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• It's truly rewarding for Éric-Olivier to witness patients conquer a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck and experience implementing practical strategies to avoid re-injury during work or daily life. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips again.
• At Éric-Olivier's physiotherapy practice, individuals with feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move are guided towards a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as keeping up with your team during our weekly soccer match.
• Patients often come to Éric-Olivier feeling defeated by widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving getting back to hiking, running, or cycling pain-free and with renewed vigor and resuming reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiothérapeute can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.

What are Action Sport Physio (Centre-Ville)'s operating hours?

Action Sport Physio (Centre-Ville) is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office at (514) 935-5522 or check our website/online booking portal for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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. Care received within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if specific criteria are met, but private outpatient physiotherapy usually requires private insurance coverage or personal payment. Always verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and consult your insurance provider for details.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first appointment, including assessment and treatment planning, usually lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up visits are typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan and progress.

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at Action Sport Physio (Centre-Ville) treat?

Éric-Olivier treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions, including sports injuries, joint and muscle pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic conditions like arthritis. Treatments often involve manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education to help you reach your functional goals.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy is accessible via direct access, meaning you can see a Physiothérapeute without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy beforehand.

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

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master’s degree and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnosis, treatment planning, and certain restricted procedures. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises without independently diagnosing or creating treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
