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

• Philippe believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain is hindering your ability to participating fully in your martial arts practice, including sparring, a personalized plan focusing on enjoying cycling or swimming regularly without pain or limitation can make all the difference.
• Living with general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden doesn't have to be your norm. Philippe applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards a more comfortable and physically manageable pregnancy experience, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation.
• Discover how physiotherapy with Philippe can help you move beyond that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder. The focus is on running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as working at your desk all day without developing back or neck stiffness.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Philippe, 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).

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician’s referral, a practice 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 first visit to confirm coverage requirements.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some coverage may exist if the treatment is received within a public hospital or CLSC under specific circumstances. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and review your private insurance plans for coverage details.

Does Physio Cinétique offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Physio Cinétique offers direct billing for most major private insurance providers 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. If direct billing is not available for your insurer, we provide official receipts that you can submit for reimbursement. We recommend confirming your coverage details and any applicable limits directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary and you are responsible for any amounts not covered by your insurer.
