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. They are autonomous healthcare professionals authorized to perform patient assessments, establish a physiotherapy diagnosis, create and modify treatment plans, and apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions. This includes certain restricted activities if they hold the specific attestations (e.g., spinal manipulations, specific needle-based therapies). A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma in physiotherapy technology. They work under the supervision of, or based on a treatment plan established by, a physiotherapist or a physician. Technologists apply prescribed treatment modalities, guide patients through exercises, monitor progress, and adapt interventions within the established plan, but they do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly, without a physician's referral, under the province's direct access policies. However, while a referral is not always necessary to receive treatment, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's note for reimbursement. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to confirm coverage.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This allows for a thorough assessment and discussion of your goals. Follow-up sessions usually last between 30 and 45 minutes, tailored to your needs. Magalie will advise on the appropriate duration for your care.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Most patients pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Some coverage may be available for care in public hospitals or CLSCs under specific circumstances. It is best to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

Is there parking available at or near CISSS de Lanaudière - Centre Multivocationnel Claude-David?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Additional street parking and paid lots in the vicinity also offer convenient options for visitors.

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 longer than expected, contact Magalie or the clinic promptly. They can provide guidance, adjust your treatment plan, or determine if reassessment is necessary.
