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

• Taly frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like playing in your competitive volleyball league again.
• Patients often come to Taly feeling defeated by swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey and resuming getting back to golfing 18 holes without your back acting up becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• The path to recovery from frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders and achieving developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns for playing fetch with your dog in the park for an extended time often starts with expert guidance. Taly, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Taly, 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 are typically responsible for paying out-of-pocket or relying on private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plans, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and focuses on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments, assisting physiotherapists with implementing treatment plans, applying modalities, and reporting progress.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, almost always. Taly will provide a customized home exercise program tailored to your specific needs. Performing these exercises as instructed is crucial to support your recovery, maintain progress, and prevent setbacks between appointments.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to ensure coverage.

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

To ensure a smooth first visit, please bring your health card, any relevant medical reports or imaging results, a list of current medications, and your insurance information for direct billing if applicable. Wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy movement is also recommended.
