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

• Nurit believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult is hindering your ability to participate in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises, a personalized plan focusing on running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form can make all the difference.
• If difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke is preventing you from fully enjoying taking energetic, long walks with your dog every day, Nurit offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
• Nurit frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of loss of strength in one of my limbs after an injury. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like running your usual 5k route without knee pain.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Nurit, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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. They are autonomous healthcare professionals authorized to perform patient assessments, establish a physiotherapy diagnosis, create and modify treatment plans, and apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions. This includes certain restricted activities if they hold the specific attestations (e.g., spinal manipulations, specific needle-based therapies). A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma in physiotherapy technology. They work under the supervision of, or based on a treatment plan established by, a physiotherapist or a physician. Technologists apply prescribed treatment modalities, guide patients through exercises, monitor progress, and adapt interventions within the established plan, but they do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Does Nurit King offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Nurit King offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, and others. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to facilitate the process. It is recommended to confirm your coverage with your insurer beforehand, as plans vary significantly. Any remaining balance not covered by insurance is the patient's responsibility.

What is Nurit King'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. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Some coverage may be available if the care is received within a public hospital or CLSC under specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plan for coverage details.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, as part of the direct access policy. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurer before your appointment to confirm their requirements.
