At Dialogue Technologies Clinique Ubisoft, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Veneta frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Don't let that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity dictate what you can and cannot do. Veneta offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity, helping you reclaim walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness and enjoy a more functional life.
• At Veneta's physiotherapy practice, individuals with my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly) are guided towards returning to their workout routine with greater confidence and better performance. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations.
• Many individuals seek help from Veneta, their physiotherapist, when wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like returning to a specific physical hobby you had to give up due to pain.

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

This private clinic facility is conveniently located near local community services and pharmacies and is accessible via local public transit routes. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

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

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiothérapeute to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, which is known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to access physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the requirements of your specific insurance policy before your appointment.

Is there parking available at or near Dialogue Technologies Clinique Ubisoft?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside the clinic building. Look for designated patient spots. Additionally, metered street parking is generally available on nearby streets, and a paid public parkade is located within a short walking distance. Always check signage for time restrictions or parking regulations.

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 through private insurance. Care received in public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific circumstances, but private outpatient physiotherapy usually requires private coverage or personal payment. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your insurance provider for details.

What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy and is an autonomous healthcare professional authorized to perform assessments, diagnosis, create and modify treatment plans, and perform restricted activities such as spinal manipulations if certified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (CEGEP) and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, focusing on applying treatment modalities, guiding exercises, and monitoring progress without diagnosing or independently establishing treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
