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 through private insurance. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer substantial physiotherapy coverage for private clinic services.

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, diagnose, and develop treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures with additional qualifications. Conversely, a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapy Technologists at CBI Concordia Physio Sport treat?

Ryan's Physiotherapy Technologists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes issues like back and neck pain, joint problems such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries like shin splints, and nerve pain. They also have expertise in therapeutic exercise instruction and modality application, often involving Stretching & Flexibility Programs, General Reconditioning & Fitness Programs, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

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, while a referral is not legally required to receive treatment, some private insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy beforehand.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The initial session primarily involves an in-depth assessment. Ryan’s Physiotherapy Technologist will discuss your specific concerns, medical history, and overall health. They will then perform physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and areas of concern. The goal is to understand your condition thoroughly to develop a tailored treatment plan. You may also receive initial exercises or hands-on care to begin your recovery.
