At Physio Extra Pointe-Aux-Trembles, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jérémy frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment significantly impacts their ability to reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches. Jérémy helps patients target feeling more energetic and less weighed down by physical discomfort with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Tired of difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy interfering with going on enjoyable fishing or camping trips again? Jérémy uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve a deeper understanding of their condition and how to manage it proactively for long-term well-being and regain your freedom of movement.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of recovering from a burn and needing help with scar mobility and movement? Jérémy works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of a more comfortable and physically manageable pregnancy experience. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as using garden tools effectively and without pain.

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

Jérémy practices at Physio Extra Pointe-Aux-Trembles, situated in a modern clinic located in the heart of the Pointe-aux-Trembles neighborhood. The clinic offers a welcoming environment with easy access to local community services and pharmacies, making it a convenient choice for residents. The location is accessible via various public transit routes, ensuring patients can reach their appointments with ease. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

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 in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered under certain conditions. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plans, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

While some physiotherapy techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause a temporary increase in soreness (similar to muscle soreness after a new workout), especially when working on stiff joints or tight muscles, it should not be excessively or intolerably painful. Jérémy will discuss what sensations you might expect with different treatments and will always aim to adjust the intensity and techniques to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while still achieving therapeutic benefits. Constant communication about your comfort level is very important.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey and empower you to take an active role in your recovery process. Jérémy will carefully select and teach you exercises specific to your needs. These exercises help to reinforce what’s done in the clinic, manage your condition effectively, and ensure you continue progressing towards your goals even when you’re not in a session.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master’s level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapy Technologist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, it is important to check with your private insurance provider, as some plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Jérémy recommends verifying your insurance requirements before your first visit.
