What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiothérapeute may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.

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.

Is there parking available at or near PCN Lévis?

Oui, il y a un stationnement libre en ampleur disponible directement devant et à côté de notre bâtiment. Recherchez les places désignées pour les patients. Il y a aussi un stationnement payant dans un parc de stationnement public situé à un pâté de maisons à l’est de notre clinique. La zone est généralement bien desservie par le stationnement de rue et le stationnement payant dans les parkings publics voisins. Toujours vérifier la signalisation pour les limites de temps ou restrictions.

What is PCN Lévis's appointment cancellation policy?

Nous comprenons que les horaires peuvent changer de façon inattendue. Afin d'assurer une gestion efficace de la clinique, nous demandons un préavis d'au moins 24 heures (ou un jour ouvrable) pour toute annulation ou reprogrammation. Cela permet d'offrir le créneau à un autre patient en attente. Des frais pouvant aller jusqu'à 50 % du coût du service ou un montant fixe (par exemple, 50 $) peuvent être appliqués pour les annulations tardives ou les absences sans préavis suffisant. Veuillez nous contacter dès que possible si vous devez modifier votre rendez-vous.

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

En général, la RAMQ ne couvre pas les services de physiothérapie effectués dans des cliniques privées. Cependant, certains services de physiothérapie dans le cadre d’un programme spécifique ou pour des cas particuliers, tels que la réadaptation post-hospitalisation ou pour certaines populations vulnérables, peuvent être partiellement ou totalement couverts. Il est fortement conseillé de vérifier votre admissibilité directement auprès de la RAMQ et de consulter votre régime d’assurance privé ou complémentaire, car plusieurs plans offrent une couverture significative pour les services en clinique privée.

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

Les patients au Québec peuvent généralement consulter un Physiothérapeute directement, sans ordonnance médicale (accès direct). Cependant, certaines assurances privées ou complémentaires peuvent exiger une ordonnance pour le remboursement. Il est donc conseillé de vérifier auprès de votre assureur avant votre première consultation.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Le but principal de la physiothérapie est généralement de réduire la douleur et d’améliorer la fonction, et non de causer une douleur importante ou persistante. Certaines techniques d’évaluation ou traitements spécifiques, comme le travail en tissus profonds, la mobilisation articulaire ou certains exercices, peuvent causer une gêne temporaire ou une douleur légère. Cependant, votre Physiothérapeute travaillera toujours dans vos tolérances, communiquera clairement sur ce à quoi vous attendre et encouragera vos retours. Si vous ressentez une douleur importante ou inhabituelle, informez-le immédiatement pour ajuster le traitement.
