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

• Patients struggling with aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk can find dedicated and compassionate support from Sabrina. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks.
• Discover how physiotherapy with Sabrina can help you move beyond working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery. The focus is on a deeper understanding of their condition and how to manage it proactively for long-term well-being, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as playing fetch with your dog in the park for an extended time.
• Sabrina believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If loss of strength in one of my limbs after an injury is hindering your ability to setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports, a personalized plan focusing on a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort can make all the difference.

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 rely on private insurance. However, care received directly within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for coverage options.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the practice of direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is recommended to check your insurance policy details prior to your appointment.

What is Clinique Mouvement Optimal's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand schedules can change unexpectedly. To accommodate all patients efficiently, we request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee, such as 50% of the service cost or a set amount like $XX. Please contact the clinic promptly if you need to make changes.

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. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under supervision, applying prescribed treatments, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress without diagnosing or independently planning treatments. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

It is helpful to bring your health card, any referral or medical reports, and insurance details if applicable. Wearing comfortable attire that allows for easy movement during the assessment is also recommended.
