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

• Don't let aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk dictate what you can and cannot do. Rébecca offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at a significant improvement in their overall quality of life and daily well-being, helping you reclaim doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain and enjoy a more functional life.
• The path to recovery from trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip and achieving improved core stability and control, leading to better posture and reduced strain for carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably often starts with expert guidance. Rébecca, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• When hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing attending and enjoying your children's or grandchildren's sporting events, physiotherapy with Rébecca can help you work towards the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.

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

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

In Quebec, patients can generally see a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly through a process known as direct access, without requiring a physician's referral. However, while a referral is not legally necessary to receive physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. Patients are strongly advised to check the specific requirements of their insurance policy before their first appointment to ensure coverage.

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 typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify individual eligibility with RAMQ and review private insurance coverage for physiotherapy services.

Does Les Jardins Intérieurs offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Les Jardins Intérieurs 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 seamless billing. If direct billing is not available for your plan, we provide detailed receipts that can be submitted for reimbursement. Patients should confirm their coverage with their insurance provider, including any limits or deductibles.

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

It’s recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and easy access for your physiotherapist to examine and treat the targeted body area. For example, shorts for knee issues or a sleeveless top for shoulder concerns. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective and comfortable as possible.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy encompasses hands-on techniques used by your Physiotherapy Technologist to help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, relax tight muscles, and facilitate nerve mobility. Common methods include joint glides, soft tissue massage, and joint manipulations, all aimed at promoting better movement and comfort.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans independently. A Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding patients through exercises without diagnosing or establishing treatment plans independently. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
