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

• Many patients have found lasting relief from trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury and achieved the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur under the skilled care of Laurianne. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as resuming your weightlifting routine at the gym safely with a new lease on life.
• Laurianne frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of trying to stay as mobile and active as possible while living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like returning to a specific physical hobby you had to give up due to pain.
• Living with recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist doesn't have to be your norm. Laurianne applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Laurianne, 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 provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance plans. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plans for coverage details.

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.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It’s difficult to say exactly how many sessions you’ll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone’s situation and recovery path is unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, and this will be revisited as your treatment progresses.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master’s level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

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

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

What are Physio Multiservices's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with some practitioners offering Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours can vary depending on the practitioner and day.
