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

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

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, allowing them to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures with additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on implementing physiotherapy treatments, assisting in exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, the severity of the condition, and the recovery process. Some acute issues resolve quickly, while others may require longer-term care. Liliane will provide an estimated treatment plan after your initial assessment, which will be adjusted as your progress continues.

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at Espace 212 treat?

Our Physiothérapeutes treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and balance-related conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint issues like arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, nerve pain, vestibular and balance disorders, and post-acute rehabilitation for burn injuries. Many treatments involve manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education to support active recovery and athletic performance.

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 through private insurance. Coverage may be available if care is received at a public hospital or CLSC under specific criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not covered. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plans for coverage options.
