• Physiotherapy with Megane can be a transformative turning point for those affected by pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies. The shared goal is achieving resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort, paving the way for you to enjoy managing your personal care routines independently and a more active, vibrant life.
• Many individuals seek help from Megane, their physiotherapist, when difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke starts impacting daily life.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

Is there parking available at or near Physiothérapie - Rehab Performance?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Metered street parking is generally available on nearby streets, and there is also a paid public parkade located one block east of our clinic. Parking options are conveniently accessible, and we recommend checking local signage for any restrictions.

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

In most cases, physiotherapy services in private clinics are paid out-of-pocket by patients or covered through private insurance plans. RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy provided in private outpatient clinics. However, care received in a public hospital or CLSC might be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for coverage details.

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, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the requirements of your insurance plan before your first appointment.

How can I book an appointment at Physiothérapie - Rehab Performance?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (438) 227-4753 during our business hours. Many of our practitioners also offer the convenience of online booking through our website. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This extended time allows for a comprehensive assessment of your condition and a collaborative discussion about your treatment goals. Subsequent follow-up sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes, though this can be adjusted based on your individual requirements. Your Physiotherapy Technologist will advise on the appropriate appointment length for your specific care.
