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

• Many find that difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke significantly impacts their ability to easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips. Hailey helps patients target greater ease in performing overhead activities or reaching with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Discover how physiotherapy with Hailey can help you move beyond wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night. The focus is on a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as walking your children to school or the park.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia and achieved improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics under the skilled care of Hailey. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as going on birdwatching outings in various terrains with a new lease on life.

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

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiothérapeute to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems.

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

Patients in Quebec can generally see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, as physiotherapy services are accessible through direct access. However, while a doctor's referral is not legally required to begin physiotherapy, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment.

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 for these services. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. Always verify your coverage with RAMQ and your insurance provider to understand your options.

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

A Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. They can also perform certain restricted activities with attestations. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They assist with prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently establish treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
