At MVT Physiothérapie, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Maude frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Living with experiencing discomfort, back pain, or pelvic girdle pain during or after pregnancy doesn't have to be your norm. Maude applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness.
• Physiotherapy with Maude can be a transformative turning point for those affected by my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night. The shared goal is achieving improved performance in work-related physical demands, paving the way for you to enjoy getting on and off the floor with ease and a more active, vibrant life.
• Tired of difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy interfering with joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court? Maude uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur and regain your freedom of movement.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Maude, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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 use private insurance. Care received at public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plans for coverage options.

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

Patients in Quebec can usually see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the system of direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy details prior to your first appointment.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and improve function. Some treatments or assessments, such as deep soft tissue work or joint mobilizations, might cause mild discomfort temporarily. Maude will always work within your tolerance and communicate clearly. If you experience significant pain, inform her immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.

What is MVT Physiothérapie's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients efficiently, we request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact the clinic promptly if you need to modify your appointment.

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

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university education, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist holds a college diploma (DEC) and plays a crucial role in implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, and applying modalities under supervision, supporting the physiotherapist or physician.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, most patients receive a tailored home exercise program to reinforce their in-clinic progress. These exercises are vital for achieving optimal results and maintaining improvements between sessions.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapy Technologists at MVT Physiothérapie treat?

Maude treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal, neurological, and sports-related conditions. This includes issues like joint injuries, sport-related strains, post-surgical recovery, and muscle imbalances. Her focus includes therapeutic exercise instruction, modality application, and education to help patients return to active, performance-oriented lifestyles.
