What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

It’s not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after physiotherapy, especially when starting new exercises or treatments. Usually, this subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact Maëva at Action Sport Physio (Villeray) or your healthcare provider for advice and possible reassessment.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed treatment modalities, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific circumstances. It is advisable to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for coverage details.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your initial visit, Maëva will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, discussing your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. A physical assessment will follow to identify the underlying causes of your condition and assess your physical capabilities. She will then explain her findings, collaborate with you to set treatment objectives, and outline a personalized plan of care. You may also receive initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to start your recovery process.
