At Centre de Correction Vertébrale, 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:
- The path to recovery from feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older and achieving improved performance in work-related physical demands for setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports often starts with expert guidance. Laurianne, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
- Many patients have found lasting relief from sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica and achieved decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues under the skilled care of Laurianne. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as playing your musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods with a new lease on life.
- It's truly rewarding for Laurianne to witness patients conquer pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies and experience a renewed sense of vitality and enthusiasm for daily activities. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain again.
Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Laurianne, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- 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.
- I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?
- Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Centre de Correction Vertébrale offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.
- Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting their criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is usually not. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.
- What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?
- It's common to experience temporary soreness or mild symptom flare-ups after physiotherapy, especially when starting a new treatment or exercises. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience significant or sharp pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact {our_clinic_name} or your province’s health services directly. They can provide guidance, adjust your treatment plan, or arrange for reassessment if needed.
- 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, 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 before your first visit to ensure compliance with their requirements.
