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

Patients in Québec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, which is known as direct access. However, while a doctor’s referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiothérapeute, some private and extended health insurance plans do require one for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify the specific requirements of your insurance plan before your appointment to ensure coverage.

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

In Québec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting certain criteria, but private clinic physiotherapy is typically not reimbursed by RAMQ. It is advisable to check your private insurance and RAMQ eligibility for specific coverage details.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your initial visit, Réjean will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including discussing your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. A physical assessment will follow to identify the root cause of your condition and evaluate your physical capabilities. Based on this, Réjean will explain his findings, collaborate with you to set treatment goals, and outline a tailored plan of care. You will likely receive initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to begin your recovery process.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy, delivered by a qualified Physiothérapeute like Réjean, is a science-based health profession focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving function. It employs techniques such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, education, and lifestyle advice to help you recover from injury or illness and prevent future issues. Réjean’s goal is to empower you to manage your health actively and achieve your performance and wellness objectives.

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 in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnosis, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
