Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is generally to reduce pain and improve function, not to cause significant or lasting pain. Some assessment techniques or specific treatments (like deep soft tissue work, joint mobilization, or certain exercises) might cause mild, temporary discomfort or soreness, especially if the tissues being treated are sensitive, inflamed, or very stiff. However, your Physiotherapy Technologist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly about what to expect, and encourage open feedback. If you experience notable or unacceptable pain during treatment, please inform your therapist immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.

Does Physio-Ergo L'Assomption offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Physio-Ergo L'Assomption offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. While we handle the billing process directly, it is important to verify your coverage and any specific requirements with your insurer, including limits and deductibles. If direct billing is not available for your plan, we will provide detailed receipts for you to submit for reimbursement.

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. Most patients pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance for coverage. Publicly funded physiotherapy may be available through certain programs or in specific settings like hospitals or CLSC, but private outpatient services are typically not covered by RAMQ. It is advisable to check with your private insurer and review your extended health benefits for coverage details.

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, thanks to the province's direct access model. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify your insurance policy's requirements before your first appointment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy is effective in preventing injuries and managing recurring pain. By identifying risk factors like muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or postural issues, Marie-Eve can develop targeted exercises and provide ergonomic advice to help reduce your risk and promote long-term health.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed university-level master’s training, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of treatments, assisting physiotherapists by implementing plans, applying modalities, and monitoring patient progress under supervision.
