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.

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

[In Quebec, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific circumstances. It is recommended to verify with RAMQ and your private insurer for your coverage details.]

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first appointment, which includes a thorough assessment and treatment plan development, typically lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions usually range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your specific needs and treatment plan.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are an essential component of your recovery. Jessy will teach you tailored exercises to perform at home, helping to reinforce your progress, manage your condition effectively, and support your ongoing healing journey.

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

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