Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapy Technologist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ for the outpatient population. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. However, care received within a hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your individual eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for coverage details.

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 and can perform assessments, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, implementing prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress without diagnosing. Both 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?

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

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

It is recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and easy access to the body part being treated. For example, shorts for knee issues or a sleeveless top for shoulder concerns. The goal is to facilitate effective assessment and treatment.
