Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?
Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a practice known as direct access. While a referral is not legally required to initiate physiotherapy treatment, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.
What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
Manual therapy involves specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiothérapeute to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This includes joint mobilization with gentle, rhythmic movements; joint manipulation involving skilled, high-velocity thrusts when appropriate; soft tissue techniques such as massage and myofascial release; and neural mobilization to improve nerve mobility. The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore joint function, and promote tissue healing.
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 typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance for coverage. Some services within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria, but for private outpatient physiotherapy, coverage is limited. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plans for reimbursement options.
Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
Absolutely. Physiotherapy not only treats existing issues but also plays a key role in injury prevention. A Physiothérapeute can assess your movement patterns, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, and provide personalized exercises and strategies to help prevent future injuries or recurring pain, especially for athletes or individuals engaged in physically demanding activities.
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 program, granting them the autonomy to assess, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures within their scope. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, helping with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to the supervising therapist. Both play vital roles in patient care, with the physiotherapist having greater clinical independence.
