At Physio Balance (Montréal-Nord), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Hind frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Hind believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If trouble performing repetitive tasks at work without pain is hindering your ability to run your usual 5k route without knee pain, a personalized plan focusing on experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life can make all the difference.
• Many find that recovering from a burn and needing help with scar mobility and movement significantly impacts their ability to attend and enjoy your children's or grandchildren's sporting events. Hind helps patients target more comfortable and efficient movement when transitioning between positions (e.g., sit to stand) with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Living with one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain doesn't have to be your norm. Hind applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of playing your musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods.

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

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly without a physician's referral, as part of the province's direct access policy. However, while a referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm coverage and requirements.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some treatments received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It's recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

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

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree and can perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist, on the other hand, holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying treatments and guiding exercises without diagnosing or independently developing treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial appointment usually lasts about 60 minutes, encompassing assessment and treatment planning. Follow-up sessions typically range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and patient needs.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

Please bring your provincial health card, any relevant medical reports or imaging, a list of medications, and your private insurance details if applicable. Wearing comfortable clothing suitable for movement is also recommended.
