- Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?
- While some physiotherapy techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause a temporary increase in soreness (similar to muscle soreness after a new workout), especially when working on stiff joints or tight muscles, it should not be excessively or intolerably painful. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will discuss what sensations you might expect with different treatments and will always aim to adjust the intensity and techniques to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while still achieving therapeutic benefits. Constant communication about your comfort level is very important.
- What is Physio Extra Blainville's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee equivalent to 50% of the service cost or a set amount like $50 may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.
- 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 for coverage. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not included. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for potential reimbursement options.
- What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?
- In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is an autonomous healthcare professional authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
- What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?
- If you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists beyond 48 hours, it is important to contact Luc or your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and adjust your treatment plan if needed to ensure your safety and continued progress.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapy Technologist in QC?
- No, patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your specific insurance policy before your appointment.
