• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): A common overuse injury in active individuals and athletes, sometimes referred to as 'runner's knee' or 'anterior knee pain', often related to biomechanical issues in how the kneecap tracks.
• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): A bone injury resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation due to repetitive mechanical loading, often seen in runners or athletes who rapidly increase their training.

Hand & Wrist

• Trigger Finger/Thumb (Stenosing Tenosynovitis): Helping to alleviate the symptoms of a catching, locking, or painful finger/thumb through targeted physiotherapy interventions, potentially avoiding the need for injections or surgery in some cases.

Back & Neck Pain

• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Symptoms like 'neurogenic claudication' – leg pain, cramping, or heaviness with walking or prolonged standing that typically eases with rest or bending forward (flexion).

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Mylene can assess your needs.

• Soft Tissue Mobilization & Release Techniques: Hands-on treatment focusing on your body's soft tissues to restore pliability, reduce discomfort, and optimize movement quality.

• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): Using controlled isometric and isotonic muscle contractions, as directed by your Physiotherapist, to address joint restrictions and muscle imbalances effectively.
• Custom Foot Orthotic Assessment & Prescription (if offered/certified): Prescription, casting or 3D scanning, and fitting of custom orthotics designed to correct biomechanical faults, provide support, improve shock absorption, and address foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain related to your foot posture and function.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to see a Physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans do require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This allows for a thorough assessment and discussion of your treatment goals. Follow-up sessions usually last between 30 and 45 minutes, though this may vary depending on your individual needs. Your Physiothérapeute will advise you on the appropriate duration for your care.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary soreness or discomfort after treatment is normal, similar to feeling after a workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, new symptoms develop, or discomfort persists beyond a couple of days, please contact us. Your Physiothérapeute will want to know so they can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Open communication is essential for your recovery.

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 plans. Care received in a hospital or CLSC may be covered under specific conditions. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and check your private insurance for coverage details.

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, allowing them to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and plays a supportive role by implementing treatment plans prescribed or overseen by a physiothérapeute or physician, assisting with exercises, modalities, and reporting progress.
