What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiotherapy Technologist uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, hands-on manual therapy, and personalized education to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of injuries, pain conditions, and physical impairments affecting your muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and even your cardiorespiratory system. It can help you reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, recover from surgery, prevent future injuries, and enhance your quality of life.

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 plans. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It’s important to verify eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private health insurance for coverage details.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician.

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, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify the requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best—think about what you might wear to the gym or for light exercise. For lower-body issues, shorts are helpful; for upper-body concerns, a tank top or loose t-shirt allows proper examination and treatment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, physiotherapy can be effective in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. It helps identify risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or movement patterns, and addresses them through targeted exercises, education, and ergonomic advice to reduce the likelihood of re-injury and chronic issues.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial assessment usually takes about 60 minutes, while follow-up sessions generally last between 30 and 45 minutes. The exact duration depends on your specific needs and treatment plan.
