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

• The journey to being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations when faced with persistent feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be is made smoother and more effective with Priscile's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• Rediscover your ability to spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain without the constant burden of pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard. Priscile focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity and achieved greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities under the skilled care of Priscile.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapy Technologist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services performed in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received through public health services, such as in hospitals or CLSCs, may be covered depending on eligibility. Patients are advised to verify their specific coverage with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments, assisting physiotherapists by implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, and applying modalities under supervision.

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

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

Is there parking available at or near CMI LAVAL?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside the building. Look for designated patient spots. Additionally, metered street parking and paid public parkades are accessible nearby. Please check local signage for specific restrictions and hours.
