- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapy Technologist in QC?
- In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the system of direct access. However, while a referral may not be legally required to receive treatment, some private or extended health insurance plans might require one for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify their insurance coverage before their first appointment.

- What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?
- Some temporary soreness after treatment is normal, much like after a workout. However, if your pain worsens significantly, if you develop new symptoms, or if discomfort persists beyond a couple of days, please contact us. Your Physiotherapy Technologist would want to know so they can provide guidance and adjust your care plan as needed. Open communication is essential for your recovery.
- 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 typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Certain public services in hospitals or CLSCs might cover physiotherapy under specific circumstances, but private outpatient services are usually not included. It is recommended to verify coverage with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for details.
- What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?

They can perform restricted activities such as spinal manipulations if certified. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatment modalities, assist with 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).
