Jérémie Lanthier-Plante provides skilled physiotherapy care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Joint Pain

• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.
• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Pain, tenderness, swelling, and dysfunction in a tendon (the strong cords that attach muscles to bones) due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or degeneration. Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).

Common Msk

• Wrist and Hand Pain (e.g., Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, Strains): Disorders affecting hand and wrist function, making daily tasks such as gripping objects, typing, writing, or fine motor activities difficult and painful.
• Hip Pain (e.g., Bursitis, Muscle Strains, Labral Issues - conservative): Aching, sharp, or deep pain in the hip that may worsen with activity, specific movements, or even at rest.
• Ankle Sprains and Instability: Injuries to ankle ligaments, typically from twisting or 'rolling' motions, leading to pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight. Can result in recurrent sprains and chronic instability if not properly rehabilitated.

Arthritis

• Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): Helping to manage the musculoskeletal aspects of psoriatic disease, working in conjunction with medical management to optimize your physical function and comfort.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): A type of chronic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine (especially the sacroiliac joints and vertebrae), leading to pain, stiffness, and potential fusion of vertebrae, which can result in a stooped posture if not managed.
• Gout (Management of Musculoskeletal Impairments): Exercises and advice to manage the impact of gout on your joints, improve mobility, and reduce the likelihood of long-term joint damage.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) & Other Inflammatory Arthropathies: Tailored exercise programs (including range of motion, strengthening, and low-impact aerobic exercises), pain relief modalities, and education on joint protection techniques and energy conservation for individuals with RA or similar conditions.

• Dry Needling / Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS): A technique aimed at releasing muscle knots (trigger points) that can cause local or referred pain, alleviating persistent myofascial pain syndromes, and improving neuromuscular communication to restore normal muscle activity.
• Acupuncture (Medical or Traditional): Utilizing acupuncture to help modulate pain, reduce muscle tension, improve nerve function, and support overall well-being as part of your physiotherapy care.

• Patients often come to Jérémie feeling defeated by aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk.

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

In Québec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly through a process known as direct access, without needing a physician’s referral. However, while a referral is not legally required to see a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance provider before your first appointment to ensure smooth coverage and reimbursement.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Jérémie will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Active participation in your home program is essential for achieving optimal results.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiothérapeute uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, manual therapy, and education to evaluate, diagnose, and treat injuries, pain conditions, and physical impairments affecting muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and the respiratory or cardiovascular systems. It can help reduce pain, increase mobility, recover from surgery, prevent future injuries, and improve quality of life.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is an autonomous healthcare professional authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and apply a variety of interventions. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding patients through exercises but does not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Many private insurance plans offer coverage for physiotherapy services, either fully or partially. It is recommended to contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your coverage, including annual maximums, co-payments, and whether a referral is required for reimbursement. If your insurance allows, Jérémie can often bill your insurer directly, reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment for efficient processing.

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

In Québec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance for these services. Care provided within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific circumstances, but private outpatient physiotherapy in clinics is typically not reimbursed by RAMQ. It is advisable to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance to confirm coverage options.
