At Centre de correction vertébrale, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Mauly frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Struggling with the frustration of needing to improve my breathing patterns or lung capacity? Mauly develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency. This is key to helping you get back to doing playing fetch with your dog in the park for an extended time with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• For those whose feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems has made walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness seem like a distant memory, Mauly's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward successfully integrating safe movement strategies into their daily routines. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

Does Centre de correction vertébrale offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Centre de correction vertébrale offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, etc. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to facilitate this process. It’s recommended to verify your coverage and any specific requirements with your insurer before your appointment, as plans may vary. Patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their insurance.

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. Certain coverage may be available if receiving care within public hospitals or CLSCs under specific conditions. It’s advisable to check your private insurance plans and confirm eligibility directly with RAMQ for any public coverage.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To ensure a smooth first visit, please bring your health card, any referral letters from your doctor, relevant imaging reports, a list of current medications, and your insurance information for direct billing if available. Wearing comfortable clothing will also facilitate assessment and treatment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and goals. After your initial assessment, Mauly will provide an estimate, and progress will be regularly reviewed. Adjustments to the treatment plan will be made as needed to optimize recovery.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your initial appointment usually lasts around an hour, allowing for a thorough assessment. Follow-up sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes, tailored to your specific needs and progress.

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 referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physiotherapy Technologist in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university program, enabling independent assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, and applying modalities under supervision, playing a crucial role in patient care.
