Joint Pain

Hand Wrist

• Hand and Wrist Injuries & Conditions (e.g., Fractures, Tendon Injuries, Sprains, Arthritis - Conservative/Post-Op): Focused physiotherapy care for complex hand and wrist problems, often involving custom splinting or orthosis fabrication, manual therapy (joint and soft tissue mobilization), specific exercises to restore dexterity, strength, and range of motion, scar management, and sensory re-education.
• Trigger Finger/Thumb (Stenosing Tenosynovitis): Conservative physiotherapy management for trigger digit, which may include splinting to rest the tendon, specific tendon gliding exercises, activity modification advice, modalities to reduce inflammation, and education to prevent recurrence.

Sports Injury

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make a physiotherapy diagnosis, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can also perform certain advanced procedures if they have the required additional qualifications. A Technologue en physiothérapie, on the other hand, has a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They play a crucial role in delivering care by implementing treatment plans designed by a physiotherapist or physician, assisting patients with their exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress back to the supervising professional.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically access physiotherapy services directly without a physician's referral, a practice known as direct access. However, while a referral may not be legally required to see a physiothérapeute, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received directly at public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered if meeting specific criteria, but private outpatient physiotherapy typically is not covered by RAMQ for the general population. Always check your private insurance coverage and current RAMQ policies for your situation.

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

Many private health insurance plans offer partial or full coverage for registered physiotherapy services. It is recommended to contact your insurance provider before your first session to understand your coverage limits, co-payments, and whether a doctor’s referral is necessary for reimbursement. If your plan allows, our clinic can often bill your insurer directly, simplifying the payment process. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment to facilitate this process.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on techniques performed by your physiothérapeute to assess and treat joints, muscles, and nerves. These techniques aim to decrease pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Examples include joint mobilizations, soft tissue releases, and, when appropriate, manipulations or adjustments.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

The initial assessment and treatment planning session usually lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up visits generally range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and individual needs.

What is Kinatex Sport Physio CSL (Physiomobile)’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, typically 50% of the service cost or a set amount. Please contact the clinic promptly if you need to modify your appointment.
