Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Pain, tenderness, swelling, and dysfunction in a tendon (the strong cords that attach muscles to bones) due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or degeneration. Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).
• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.

Vestibular Balance

• Vestibular Hypofunction (Unilateral or Bilateral): Reduced function of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) inner ear balance systems (vestibular organs), leading to persistent dizziness, gaze instability (difficulty keeping vision clear during head movement), imbalance, and sometimes nausea.
• General Balance Deficits and Increased Fall Risk: Difficulty maintaining stability during standing, walking, or changing positions, which may be due to various factors including age-related changes, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal weakness, sensory impairments, or medication side effects, often leading to an increased risk of falls.
• Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD / 3PD): Addressing chronic subjective dizziness and unsteadiness through targeted rehabilitation designed to reduce symptoms and improve functional abilities for individuals with PPPD/3PD.

Concussion

• Concussion / Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) & Post-Concussion Syndrome: A structured and individualized rehabilitation approach for individuals recovering from a mild traumatic brain injury, guiding a safe and gradual return to school, work, and sport activities.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Lanie can assess your needs.

• Concussion / Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Management & Rehabilitation: Specialized physiotherapy to address persistent concussion symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems, visual disturbances, and difficulty concentrating or tolerating activity.
• Interferential Current (IFC) / TENS Therapy: A non-invasive electrotherapy modality aimed at reducing pain, muscle guarding, or swelling, and sometimes used for muscle strengthening, as part of your physiotherapy treatment.
• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) for Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance Disorders: Effective therapy for various inner ear and balance disorders, including BPPV, vestibular neuritis/labyrinthitis, unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction, Meniere's disease (symptom management), and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD).
• Balance Training & Falls Prevention Programs: Comprehensive assessment of your fall risk factors with individualized interventions, including balance exercises, strength training, gait re-training, and home safety advice to help you prevent falls.
• Therapeutic Ultrasound Application: The application of high-frequency sound waves by your Physiotherapist to targeted tissues to promote deep tissue heating, increase local blood flow, reduce pain, and facilitate the healing process in soft tissues like muscles, tendons, or ligaments.
• Other Electrotherapy Applications (e.g., NMES, FES): The therapeutic use of different electrical currents by your Physiotherapist to achieve specific physiological effects, such as improving muscle contraction, reducing atrophy, or enhancing functional movement.

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

• Many patients have found lasting relief from shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult and achieved successfully integrating safe movement strategies into their daily routines under the skilled care of Lanie. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips with a new lease on life.
• Patients often come to Lanie feeling defeated by numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling less fatigued during physical activities and resuming feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns)? Lanie works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of enjoying cycling or swimming regularly without pain or limitation. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, enabling them to assess, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college diploma (DEC) and focuses on implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under supervision.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some coverage may be available for care received in hospitals or CLSCs if meeting specific criteria. Patients are advised to verify their eligibility directly with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans for coverage.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute 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 requirements of your insurance policy before the first appointment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, physiotherapy plays a vital role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your physiothérapeute can identify risk factors such as muscle imbalances or poor movement patterns and develop targeted exercises and strategies to reduce your risk, helping you stay active and healthy over the long term.
