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

• Many find that numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs significantly impacts their ability to running your usual 5k route without knee pain.

• With Tania's help, managing recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) to achieve feeling more stable and confident on their feet, especially on uneven surfaces becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like going on birdwatching outings in various terrains.
• Patients struggling with difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke can find dedicated and compassionate support from Tania. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as handling your job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy details before your first appointment.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand your coverage. Be sure to inquire about your annual maximum, co-payments, whether a referral is needed, and if the clinic can bill your insurer directly. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't available, you will receive an official receipt for reimbursement.

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, diagnose, and create treatment plans independently. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding patients through exercises without diagnosing or creating treatment plans independently. Both are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

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 usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your insurance plan for coverage details.
