Suet Bing Yee provides skilled physiotherapy care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Concussion

• Concussion / Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) & Post-Concussion Syndrome: Physiotherapy management of acute and persistent symptoms of a concussion, including addressing associated neck pain/dysfunction (cervicogenic component), vestibular (balance/dizziness) issues, oculomotor (eye movement) problems, and exertional intolerance.

Back Neck Pain

• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Back or neck pain that often radiates into an arm or leg, potentially with numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations, due to a spinal disc problem (herniation, protrusion, or bulge) compressing or irritating a nearby nerve root (radiculopathy). Sciatica specifically refers to radicular pain down the leg.
• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Often age-related changes leading to pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs with walking (neurogenic claudication in lumbar stenosis) or in the arms/hands (cervical stenosis).
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Pain and muscle tension related to ergonomic factors at work or home, muscle imbalances, and suboptimal body mechanics or movement habits.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Symptoms resulting from a whiplash injury, which can vary in severity (WAD Grades I-III) and duration, requiring a comprehensive physiotherapy approach for recovery.

Sports Injury

• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): An overuse injury resulting from repetitive friction of the IT band over the lateral femoral epicondyle (at the knee) or greater trochanter (at the hip).
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Dull, aching pain in the front of the knee, often related to issues with the alignment and movement of the patella within the femoral groove.
• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): Tiny cracks or severe bruising within a bone caused by repetitive force, overuse, or cumulative stress, common in weight-bearing bones of the lower leg (tibia, fibula), foot (metatarsals, navicular), or hip in athletes involved in high-impact sports.

At Centre de médecine sportive de Laval, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Suet frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Through personalized physiotherapy at Suet's clinic, common concerns like needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of feeling significantly stronger and more capable in their physical abilities. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks.
• Patients often come to Suet feeling defeated by that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving improved core stability and control, leading to better posture and reduced strain and resuming walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• It's truly rewarding for Suet to witness patients conquer tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot and experience enjoying family vacations and outings with more energy and less pain. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in enjoying long, challenging hikes on weekends again again.

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

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. Some public coverage may be available if the physiotherapy is received within a public hospital or CLSC under specific conditions. It is advisable to verify individual eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private extended health plan for coverage options.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, diagnosis, and create treatment plans. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying treatment modalities and guiding exercises but does not diagnose or independently plan treatments. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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

Patients in Quebec can typically access a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to confirm coverage requirements.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques used by your Physiothérapeute to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, relax muscles, and address nerve mobility issues. Common manual therapy techniques include joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, joint manipulations, and sustained pressures, all aimed at restoring optimal movement and function.

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

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated and freedom of movement during exercises. Shorts are recommended for lower limb issues, and sleeveless or loose tops are suitable for upper body treatments. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally appropriate. You may be provided with a gown if necessary.
