Arthritis

• Gout (Management of Musculoskeletal Impairments): Helping you regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve function in affected joints after a gout episode, as part of your overall gout management plan.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): A type of chronic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine (especially the sacroiliac joints and vertebrae), leading to pain, stiffness, and potential fusion of vertebrae, which can result in a stooped posture if not managed.

Common Msk

• Shoulder Pain (e.g., Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, Impingement, Frozen Shoulder/Adhesive Capsulitis): Difficulty with activities like reaching for objects, dressing, personal care, or carrying items due to underlying shoulder issues, which physiotherapy can help diagnose and treat.

At Minh Tan Le, Ostéopathe Physiothérapeute, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Minh frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many patients have found lasting relief from recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) and achieved greater ease in performing overhead activities or reaching under the skilled care of Minh. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as walking your children to school or the park with a new lease on life.
• Struggling with the frustration of needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity? Minh develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function. This is key to helping you get back to doing simply enjoying leisurely daily walks around your neighborhood for fresh air with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Patients often come to Minh feeling defeated by an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving improved breathing mechanics and capacity through postural correction and resuming safely meeting the lifting requirements at your workplace becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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 process known as direct access. However, while a doctor's referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended that patients verify the specific requirements of their insurance policy before their first appointment to ensure coverage.

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, allowing them to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop treatment plans independently. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) focusing on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to the supervising Physiothérapeute or physician.

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 usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some coverage may be available for care received in public hospitals or CLSCs, but private clinic services are typically not covered. It is important to verify specific eligibility with RAMQ and consult private insurance plans for coverage options.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The first appointment, which includes assessment and treatment planning, typically lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are generally scheduled for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and patient needs.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for physiotherapy services. Patients are advised to contact their insurance provider before their first visit to understand coverage limits, co-payments, and whether a physician's referral is required. If the clinic offers direct billing and the insurance plan allows it, Minh can bill directly, and the patient would only pay any remaining co-payment at the time of service. Otherwise, patients will receive an official receipt to submit for reimbursement, and should bring their insurance card and policy details to their appointment.
