• At Lianna's physiotherapy practice, individuals with my child walking on their toes most of the time are guided towards successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as playing a full game of recreational hockey with your friends.

• It's truly rewarding for Lianna to witness patients conquer persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady and experience a renewed sense of vitality and enthusiasm for daily activities.

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 use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not included. Patients are advised to verify their eligibility with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans for coverage.

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying treatment modalities and guiding exercises but does not diagnose or create treatment plans independently. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition and individual recovery. Some issues resolve quickly, while others may require ongoing care. Lianna will provide an estimated treatment plan after your initial assessment, which will be adjusted as needed throughout your care.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment to confirm their requirements.
