At Marie-Ève Bergeron Physiothérapie, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Julie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Julie believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist is hindering your ability to reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches, a personalized plan focusing on improved core stability and control, leading to better posture and reduced strain can make all the difference.
• At Julie's physiotherapy practice, individuals with sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica are guided towards much better balance overall, reducing the risk of stumbles or falls. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as working on detailed woodworking projects in your shop without hand pain.
• Don't let hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side dictate what you can and cannot do. Julie offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at enhanced recovery from post-surgical procedures with fewer complications, helping you reclaim managing the physical demands of your job without constant pain and enjoy a more functional life.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Julie, 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 cover physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance plans. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if specific criteria are met. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. 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 without diagnosing or independently creating treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services through direct access, meaning no referral from a doctor is required to see a Physiothérapeute. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm their requirements.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing overall well-being. A Physiothérapeute assesses, diagnoses, and treats injuries and impairments using evidence-based techniques such as targeted exercises, manual therapy, and patient education. It can help you recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, prevent future issues, and optimize your physical performance.

What is Marie-Ève Bergeron Physiothérapie's appointment cancellation policy?
