Sports Injury

• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): Localized bone pain that typically worsens with activity and is relieved by rest, often accompanied by tenderness to touch over the affected bone.
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Dull or aching pain in the front or inner part of the shin that can become sharp with activity, often felt during or after exercise.
• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): An overuse injury resulting from repetitive friction of the IT band over the lateral femoral epicondyle (at the knee) or greater trochanter (at the hip).
• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Tearing of muscle fibers or the muscle-tendon unit due to overstretching, sudden forceful contraction, or eccentric loading during athletic activity or exertion, commonly known as a 'pulled muscle'.

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

• Patients struggling with a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck can find dedicated and compassionate support from Mona. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness.
• Mona frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture.
• Struggling with the frustration of pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints)? Mona develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day. This is key to helping you get back to doing carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.

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 rely on private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. For outpatient private physiotherapy, it is important to verify your private insurance coverage and any eligibility for special programs or benefits.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises but does not diagnose or independently plan treatments. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at Kiddo Active treat?

Mona treats a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes issues like back and neck pain, joint problems such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, nerve pain, and developmental concerns in children. Her treatments often involve sports injury management, manual therapy, patient education, and strategies to optimize functional mobility and participation.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, severity, and personal goals. Mona will discuss an individualized treatment plan after your initial assessment and will monitor your progress to determine the appropriate frequency and duration of therapy.
