This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Grégory can assess your needs.

• Therapeutic Ultrasound Application: The application of high-frequency sound waves by your Physiotherapist to targeted tissues to promote deep tissue heating, increase local blood flow, reduce pain, and facilitate the healing process in soft tissues like muscles, tendons, or ligaments.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation: The application of specific wavelengths of light energy (cold laser) by your Physiotherapist to targeted tissues to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration at a cellular level.
• Other Electrotherapy Applications (e.g., NMES, FES): Utilizing electrophysical agents as an adjunct to your physiotherapy treatments to aid recovery, improve muscle function, manage pain, or reduce swelling, tailored to your specific condition.
• Interferential Current (IFC) / TENS Therapy: A non-invasive electrotherapy modality aimed at reducing pain, muscle guarding, or swelling, and sometimes used for muscle strengthening, as part of your physiotherapy treatment.
• Therapeutic Heat Application: Application of therapeutic heat to prepare tissues for exercise, manual therapy, or stretching, or to manage chronic muscle soreness and joint stiffness.
• Cryotherapy Application (Cold Therapy): A common physiotherapy treatment for acute injuries, designed to help numb pain, decrease bleeding into the tissues, and minimize secondary hypoxic injury.

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

• Patients struggling with numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs can find dedicated and compassionate support from Grégory. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing.
• The path to recovery from difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain and achieving the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur for running your usual 5k route without knee pain often starts with expert guidance. Grégory, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• The journey to improved performance in work-related physical demands when faced with persistent soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise is made smoother and more effective with Grégory's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like peacefully paddling your kayak or canoe on the lake for hours.

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

Grégory practices at CRDP INTERVAL, situated within a modern clinic in the central Victoriaville neighborhood. This public healthcare facility is conveniently located near local community services and pharmacies, making it easy for patients to access comprehensive care. Easily reachable via local public transit routes, the clinic offers a welcoming environment for patients seeking performance-oriented physiotherapy services. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

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 use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private health insurance plans for coverage.

What is CRDP INTERVAL's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure efficient service, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients. A fee of 50% of the service cost or a set amount may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or no-shows. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to modify your appointment.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree, allowing them to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie, or Physiotherapy Technologist, holds a college diploma (CEGEP) and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify your insurance requirements before your first visit.
