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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral may not be legally required to *consult* a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans do require a referral for reimbursement purposes.

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 affected by injury, illness, or disability. It also aims to reduce the risk of future problems. Using techniques such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, education, and advice, Mamhy empowers patients to manage their health and achieve their physical goals.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnosis, and create treatment plans independently, including some restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under supervision or within a treatment plan established by a physiotherapist or physician. They apply prescribed modalities, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the OPPQ.

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

It is common to experience mild soreness after treatments, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact Mamhy or your healthcare provider promptly. They can assess your condition and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and conditions. Some issues resolve quickly, while others require longer-term care. Mamhy will provide an estimated treatment plan after your initial assessment, which will be adjusted as your recovery progresses.

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 typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. Certain public services in hospitals or CLSCs may cover physiotherapy under specific conditions, but private outpatient physiotherapy usually isn't covered. Always verify your coverage with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for possible reimbursement.
