Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance card and policy details to facilitate the process.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy, delivered by a qualified Physiotherapy Technologist, is a science-based profession that focuses on restoring movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of future problems. Your physiotherapist will use techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy (hands-on treatment), education, and advice, empowering you to manage your health independently and achieve your physical goals.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapy Technologist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance for coverage. Some exceptions exist for care received directly within public hospitals or CLSCs if specific criteria are met. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as coverage varies.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist through direct access, meaning a referral from a physician is not required to see one. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to confirm the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your appointment.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The first physiotherapy session primarily involves an in-depth assessment. Expect to discuss your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background with your Physiotherapy Technologist. The therapist will perform various physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and areas of concern. The goal is to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your needs. You may also receive initial hands-on care and your first set of home exercises to initiate your recovery process.

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

A Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) 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 (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma in physiotherapy technology. They work under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress, but do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
