Arthritis

• 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.
• Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): An inflammatory arthritis that can affect some people with psoriasis (a skin condition), causing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and sometimes affecting tendons (enthesitis) and ligaments. Can affect small or large joints, often asymmetrically, and sometimes the spine.

• Knee Pain (e.g., Patellofemoral Syndrome, Meniscal Issues - conservative, Ligament Sprains): Aching, sharp pain, a feeling of the knee 'giving way', or difficulty fully bending or straightening your knee.
• Musculoskeletal Injuries (General - Tendinitis, Bursitis, Capsulitis, Sprains, Strains): Damage to the body's movement system, including issues like joint inflammation, ligament tears, or muscle overstretching, often requiring physiotherapy for optimal recovery.

Back Neck Pain

At Kinatex Sports physio Brossard / Quartier DIX30, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jeremy frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The journey to restored joint function, leading to smoother and more more coordinated movements when faced with persistent recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee is made smoother and more effective with Jeremy's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease and achieved improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity under the skilled care of Jeremy. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as comfortably cooking and meal prepping for your family with a new lease on life.
• Many individuals seek help from Jeremy, their physiotherapist, when my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly) starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings.

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 through private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if specific criteria are met. It's important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many offer substantial physiotherapy coverage for private clinic services.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments usually last between 45 to 60 minutes, allowing for a thorough evaluation and discussion. Follow-up sessions are generally shorter, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. The exact duration depends on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, and the treatment plan designed by Jeremy.

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 in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and recovery process. Some acute issues resolve quickly, while chronic or complex conditions may require longer treatment. Jeremy will provide an initial estimate after your assessment, which will be adjusted as your therapy progresses.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral, which is known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your first appointment.
