• Laury frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to see a Phys. T., some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

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 typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Public coverage may be available if the care is received within a hospital or CLSC under specific circumstances, but outpatient private physiotherapy is usually not covered by RAMQ for the general population. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage options.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiotherapy Technologist uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, manual therapy, and education to assess, diagnose, and treat injuries, pain, and physical impairments affecting muscles, bones, joints, nerves, or the cardiovascular system. It can help reduce pain, increase mobility, recover from surgery, prevent injuries, and enhance overall quality of life.

How can I book an appointment at Physiothérapie Daigneault?

You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at (450) 778-3666 during business hours. Many practitioners also offer online booking via the clinic’s website. The friendly reception team will assist you in scheduling an appointment with the right physiotherapist to meet your needs.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The initial session is primarily an assessment, involving discussion of your health history and current issues. Laury will perform physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and areas of concern. The goal is to understand your condition thoroughly and develop a personalized treatment plan. You may also receive initial exercises or hands-on care to support your recovery.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnose, develop treatment plans, and carry out certain restricted interventions. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Phys. T.) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision or plan of a physiotherapist or physician. They implement prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
