At Action Sport Physio (Saint-Hyacinthe), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Noémie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The journey to achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small when faced with persistent trouble performing repetitive tasks at work without pain is made smoother and more effective with Noémie's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation.
• At Noémie's physiotherapy practice, individuals with breathing difficulties and shortness of breath with COPD or asthma, especially during activity are guided towards getting back their independence with daily activities and personal care. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as going on enjoyable fishing or camping trips again.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required for assessment and treatment, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's note for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance policy's specific requirements before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

Is there parking available at or near Action Sport Physio (Saint-Hyacinthe)?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Additionally, metered street parking is generally available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is located approximately one block east of the clinic. Please check signage for parking restrictions and time limits.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Most physiotherapy services in private clinics are not directly covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

What is Action Sport Physio (Saint-Hyacinthe)’s appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee equivalent to 50% of the service cost or a set amount like $XX may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.
