Patrick practices at Action Sport Physio (Villeray), a modern private clinic situated in the central Montréal neighborhood of Montréal. The clinic is conveniently located near local community services and pharmacies, making it easy for patients to access comprehensive healthcare in one location. It is well-connected via public transit routes, allowing for accessible transportation options. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.
- 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, which is known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to initiate physiotherapy care, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand to confirm their specific requirements before your first appointment.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
- Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiothérapeute to easily access and assess the area being treated. Clothing that permits free movement for exercises, such as shorts for knee or hip issues or a tank top for shoulder or neck concerns, is recommended. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally suitable. 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 general, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some care received within public hospitals or CLSCs might be covered if specific criteria are met, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not reimbursed by RAMQ. It is recommended to verify your coverage with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for details.
- What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?
- A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnose, and create treatment plans independently. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiothérapeute or physician. They assist with applying treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress but do not diagnose or establish independent treatment plans. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
- Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
- The number of sessions required varies depending on your condition, severity, and recovery process. Some acute issues resolve quickly within a few sessions, while chronic or complex conditions may need longer care. Your physiothérapeute will provide an estimated treatment plan after your initial assessment, which will be adjusted as your progress continues.
