At Clinique Mouvement Optimal, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jean-Pascal frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• It's truly rewarding for Jean-Pascal to witness patients conquer my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking and experience being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in managing your personal care routines independently again.
• For those whose working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery has made getting back to your regular, consistent gym workouts seem like a distant memory, Jean-Pascal's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to getting back to your regular, consistent gym workouts with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Tired of dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash interfering with standing for longer periods, for example, while cooking or at an event? Jean-Pascal uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties and regain your freedom of movement.

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

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not provide coverage for physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. However, care received directly within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It’s important for patients to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and check their private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiothérapeute 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 check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm their specific requirements.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. It’s recommended to contact your insurance provider before your appointment to understand your coverage limits, co-payments, and whether a referral is needed for reimbursement. Our clinic can often bill your insurer directly if your plan allows, or provide you with an official receipt to submit afterward. Please remember to bring your insurance card and policy details to your first visit.

What is Clinique Mouvement Optimal's appointment cancellation policy?

To ensure smooth scheduling for all patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, usually equivalent to a percentage of the service cost. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to make changes to your appointment.

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

It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated or assessed. For example, shorts for knee issues or loose-fitting tops for shoulder concerns. The goal is to facilitate effective examination and treatment.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's degree in university, allowing for autonomous patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma and supports physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, and applying modalities under supervision.
