What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiotherapy Technologist to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, if the care is received within a public hospital or CLSC and meets specific criteria, it may be covered. It is recommended to verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for reimbursement options.

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

Generally, in Quebec, patients can access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician’s referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment.

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

It’s common to experience some soreness or mild symptoms after physiotherapy, especially initially. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. If you experience severe pain, new neurological symptoms, or symptoms that persist longer than expected, contact Océane or your healthcare provider promptly for further assessment and guidance.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, home exercises are an essential part of your rehabilitation. Océane will teach you tailored exercises to perform outside of sessions, helping to reinforce progress, manage your condition, and support your recovery journey.

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

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's degree and has the authority to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist holds a college diploma (DEC) and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, implementing treatment plans, assisting with exercises, applying modalities, and monitoring progress.
