What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, which grants them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures with additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They implement treatment plans, assist with exercises, apply modalities, and report progress to the supervising physiotherapist or physician.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

It is common to experience some temporary soreness or mild symptom increase after treatments, especially initially or when starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. If you experience significant pain, new neurological symptoms, or prolonged soreness, contact our clinic or your healthcare provider promptly. We can advise on the next steps, adjust your treatment plan, or schedule a reassessment if necessary.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the requirements of your insurance provider before your first appointment.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some coverage may be available if care is received within a hospital or CLSC meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

Is there parking available at or near Physiothérapie Frédéric Hallée?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Additional street parking is generally available nearby, and there may be paid parking options in nearby public parkades. Please check local signage for any restrictions or time limits.
