At CHSLD Ste-Monique, 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:

• Many find that trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain significantly impacts their ability to easily carry groceries in from the car in one or two trips. Maude helps patients target a smoother and stronger postpartum recovery with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Physiotherapy with Maude can be a transformative turning point for those affected by feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be. The shared goal is achieving a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple, paving the way for you to enjoy maintaining your balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails and a more active, vibrant life.

The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapy Technologist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be an ordeal of pain. While you might feel some discomfort or a stretching sensation as you work to regain movement or strength, especially in the initial stages of treatment for an acute injury or chronic stiffness, it's rarely 'painful' in a distressing or harmful way. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will guide you through each step, modify treatments to suit your comfort and tolerance, and ensure that the overall experience is positive. The ultimate aim is to make you feel better, not worse.

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

In Quebec, most physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered directly by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, care received in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. Nevertheless, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to review your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Does CHSLD Ste-Monique offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, CHSLD Ste-Monique offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to ensure smooth processing. If direct billing is not available for your plan, we provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Always confirm your coverage specifics, including any limits or deductibles, directly with your insurance provider. The patient remains responsible for any portion not covered by insurance.

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 in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create and modify treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities if certified. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level diploma in physiotherapy technology and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician. Technologists apply prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or independently develop treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
