At Action Sport Physio (Rosemère), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Maggie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Struggling with the frustration of working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery? Maggie develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving improved breathing mechanics and capacity through postural correction. This is key to helping you get back to doing standing for longer periods, for example, while cooking or at an event with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• If my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly) is preventing you from fully enjoying managing the physical demands of your job without constant pain, Maggie offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
• At Maggie's physiotherapy practice, individuals with sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica are guided towards a better understanding of ergonomics for their work and home environment. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as getting back to golfing 18 holes without your back acting up.

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).

What types of conditions do Physiotherapy Technologists at Action Sport Physio (Rosemère) treat?

Maggie treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries like ACL tears or rotator cuff injuries, and nerve pain. Therapists also have specialized skills in therapeutic exercise instruction, modality application, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals. Their treatments often involve Core Stability & Strengthening Training, Strength & Conditioning for Rehabilitation and Performance, and tailored patient education.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment—think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapy Technologist can properly examine and treat the area.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapy Technologist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

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

In general, physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Publicly funded physiotherapy may be available for certain conditions or populations, such as post-hospitalization or seniors, but eligibility is limited. It’s recommended to verify your specific coverage directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage options.

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

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

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and improve function. Some techniques or treatments might cause mild discomfort temporarily, especially if tissues are inflamed or stiff. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate what to expect, and adjust treatment if you experience significant discomfort. Please inform them immediately if you experience pain beyond mild soreness so adjustments can be made for your comfort.
