- Dealing with the ongoing challenges of trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip? Mylène works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of getting back to hiking, running, or cycling pain-free and with renewed vigor. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as playing a full game of recreational hockey with your friends.
- For those whose difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain has made engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours seem like a distant memory, Mylène's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
- The path to recovery from difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke and achieving enhanced recovery from post-surgical procedures with fewer complications for managing the physical demands of your job without constant pain often starts with expert guidance. Mylène, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

- 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 use private insurance for these services. Public physiotherapy services may be available through certain programs or public health facilities under specific conditions. Patients are advised to verify their coverage directly with RAMQ and consult with their private insurance providers for reimbursement options.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
- Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is ideal. For lower-body treatments, shorts are helpful, while for upper-body issues, a loose-fitting top or tank top ensures proper examination and treatment of the affected area.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?
- In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider before your appointment.
- 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 assists physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, applying modalities, and reporting patient progress under supervision.
