Hand Wrist

• Trigger Finger/Thumb (Stenosing Tenosynovitis): A condition where a finger or thumb gets stuck or 'catches' in a bent position, then may snap straight (like pulling a trigger). Caused by inflammation and narrowing of the tendon sheath around the flexor tendon.
• Hand and Wrist Injuries & Conditions (e.g., Fractures, Tendon Injuries, Sprains, Arthritis - Conservative/Post-Op): Physiotherapy to help you regain optimal use of your hand and wrist after an injury, surgery, or due to a chronic condition, enabling you to return to work, hobbies, and daily tasks.

Sports Injury

• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): Pain, typically sharp or burning, located on the outside (lateral aspect) of the knee, or sometimes the hip. Common in runners, cyclists, and other endurance athletes, caused by irritation or inflammation of the iliotibial (IT) band as it rubs over bony prominences.
• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Common athletic injuries affecting major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, calves, groin (adductors), quadriceps, or rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder.
• Ligament Sprains (e.g., ACL, MCL, PCL, Ankle Ligaments): Stretching or tearing of ligaments (the strong, fibrous bands that connect bones to each other at joints) due to sudden force, twisting, overstretching, or impact. Common in sports involving jumping, cutting, pivoting, or collisions. Examples include ACL/MCL tears in the knee or common ankle sprains.
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Pain and tenderness along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia), often resulting from running, jumping, or other repetitive impact activities, especially with sudden increases in training intensity or volume.

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

• Maxime frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of difficulty getting out of a chair or bed due to stiffness or pain. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations.
• Patients struggling with recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) can find dedicated and compassionate support from Maxime. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as participating in community events and social gatherings more actively.
• Tired of recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches interfering with reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches? Maxime uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities and regain your freedom of movement.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiothérapeute will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician's referral, a process known as 'direct access.' However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify with your insurance provider before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

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

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in a hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. Always check your private insurance plans and confirm eligibility with RAMQ for public coverage.

What is Actisport Marieville's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

What are Actisport Marieville's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office at (xxx) xxx-xxxx or check our website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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 Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments and assists physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, helping patients with exercises, and reporting progress.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your first visit, the Physiothérapeute will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and goals. A physical assessment will follow to identify the cause of your condition and assess your capabilities. You will then collaborate with your therapist to set treatment goals and outline a plan. Initial advice, exercises, or hands-on techniques may be provided to start your recovery.
