At Physiothérapie Mylène Leclerc, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Guillaume frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Guillaume frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy). A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets understanding how to prevent future flare-ups and manage their condition long-term and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like managing your personal care routines independently.
- It's truly rewarding for Guillaume to witness patients conquer one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain and experience feeling more like their 'old self' before their injury or condition began. 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.
- Many find that that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit significantly impacts their ability to being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children. Guillaume helps patients target restored joint function, leading to smoother and more coordinated movements with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

- What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
- Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapy Technologist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.
- Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plan for potential coverage.
- Does Physiothérapie Mylène Leclerc offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Physiothérapie Mylène Leclerc offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. We recommend confirming coverage specifics with your insurer prior to your visit, as plans may vary and you are responsible for any remaining balance.
- What is Physiothérapie Mylène Leclerc'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. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows without sufficient notice. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to modify your appointment.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Physiotherapy Technologist in QC?
- Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance requirements before your first appointment.
- Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
- The number of sessions varies depending on the condition's severity, duration, and your personal goals. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will discuss a treatment plan after your initial assessment and continually re-evaluate your progress to determine the appropriate frequency and duration.
- What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?
- A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university program, allowing them to assess patients, diagnose conditions, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie has completed a college diploma focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician to deliver care, assist with exercises, and apply modalities.
