What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapy Technologist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

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. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if specific criteria are met, but private clinic physiotherapy usually is not. Patients are advised to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and to check their private or extended health insurance plans, as many provide substantial coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, which grants them autonomy to assess patients, diagnose conditions, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist, on the other hand, holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist physiotherapists or physicians by implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary soreness after treatment can be normal, similar to after a workout. However, if pain significantly worsens, new concerning symptoms develop, or discomfort persists beyond a couple of days, please contact us. Kevin would want to know to adjust your care plan accordingly. Open communication is essential for a successful recovery.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Absolutely. Physiotherapy not only treats current issues but also focuses on injury prevention. Kevin can assess your movement patterns, identify weaknesses or imbalances, and prescribe personalized exercises and strategies to maintain musculoskeletal health and prevent future problems. This proactive approach benefits athletes, active individuals, and anyone aiming for long-term well-being.
