At Clinique de physiothérapie Jean Blackburn Inc., physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Kevin frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Are you finding that a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck stops you from enjoying driving for longer periods without neck or back pain? Kevin is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Kevin believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches is hindering your ability to managing shopping trips and carrying bags without excessive fatigue or pain, a personalized plan focusing on greater ease in performing overhead activities or reaching can make all the difference.

The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as getting back to golfing 18 holes without your back acting up.

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

However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if specific criteria are met. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many extended health benefits do offer coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

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

If you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness, or if soreness persists beyond 48 hours, contact Kevin or your healthcare provider directly.
