At Physio Alia Santé, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Geneviève frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Struggling with the frustration of soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise? Geneviève develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving enhanced ability to participate in social and community events. This is key to helping you get back to doing taking group exercise classes at the community center with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• For those whose facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) has made walking your children to school or the park seem like a distant memory, Geneviève's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward being able to climb stairs with ease and confidence once again. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to walking your children to school or the park with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Geneviève's clinic, common concerns like that 'pins and needles' feeling that won't go away are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of better joint stability during movement and weight-bearing activities. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like playing actively and roughhousing with your young kids or grandkids.

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

It is well-connected via local public transit routes, making it easy for patients to reach. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

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

In Quebec, patients are typically able to see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, which is known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to consult a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are strongly advised to verify the specific requirements of their insurance policies before their first appointment.

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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Some limited coverage may be available through specific programs for certain populations, such as seniors or low-income individuals, typically when services are received in public settings like hospitals or CLSCs. Most outpatient physiotherapy services in private clinics are paid out-of-pocket or covered through private insurance. It is recommended that patients check their individual eligibility with RAMQ and review their private insurance plans for coverage details.

Does Physio Alia Santé offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Physio Alia Santé offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers, including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Patients should bring their insurance card and policy details to facilitate the process. If direct billing is not available for a particular insurer, the clinic provides official receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement. Patients are advised to confirm their coverage and any applicable limits or deductibles directly with their insurance provider.

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 and is authorized to perform patient assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a Physiothérapeute or physician. Technologists assist with prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What is Physio Alia Santé's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.
