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

• Through personalized physiotherapy at Stéphanie's clinic, common concerns like persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture.
• It's truly rewarding for Stéphanie to witness patients conquer recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches and experience understanding how to prevent future flare-ups and manage their condition long-term. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in being able to carry your baby or toddler without straining your back or arms again.
• The journey to feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement when faced with persistent needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity is made smoother and more effective with Stéphanie's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like managing the physical demands of your job without constant pain.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist (Phys. T.) directly without a physician's referral, as part of the direct access model. However, while a doctor's referral is not legally required to *see* a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Certain services received directly through public hospitals or CLSCs might be covered if they meet specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your coverage with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans for physiotherapy benefits.

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

A Physiothérapeute holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy, allowing autonomous practice including assessments, diagnoses, and treatment planning. A Technologue en physiothérapie has a college-level diploma and works under supervision, applying prescribed treatment modalities, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress but does not diagnose or establish treatment plans independently. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

Is there parking available at or near Physio Multiservices?

Yes, ample free patient parking is available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for designated patient spots. Additional street parking can be found on nearby streets, and there is a paid public parkade located within a short walking distance of the clinic. Please check local signage for any restrictions or time limits.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Absolutely. Physiotherapy not only treats current issues but also plays a proactive role in injury prevention. Stéphanie can assess your movement patterns, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, and develop a personalized exercise and strategies program to help you maintain musculoskeletal health, reduce the risk of future injuries, and support long-term wellness, especially for athletes and active individuals.
