At Physiothérapie Solution Active Monk, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Khalil frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run? Khalil works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• At Khalil's physiotherapy practice, individuals with post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery are guided towards the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips.
• Many individuals seek help from Khalil, their physiotherapist, when trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve improved ability to lift and carry objects correctly and safely, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain.

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

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This extended time allows for a comprehensive assessment of your condition and a collaborative discussion about your treatment goals. Subsequent follow-up sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes, though this can be adjusted based on your individual requirements. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will advise on the appropriate appointment length for your specific care.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy coverage through RAMQ is limited. Typically, RAMQ covers physiotherapy services provided within public hospitals or CLSCs for specific populations, such as seniors or those with certain medical conditions. Most outpatient physiotherapy services in private clinics are not directly covered by RAMQ, and patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health plan for coverage options.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the system of direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm their requirements.

Is there parking available at or near Physiothérapie Solution Active Monk?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside the clinic. Look for the designated patient spots. Additionally, metered street parking is generally available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is located within walking distance of the clinic. Always check local signage for restrictions or time limits.

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, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures with additional qualifications. A Physiotherapy Technologist, on the other hand, holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a vital role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans, assisting patients with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to the supervising physiotherapist or physician.
