What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiotherapy Technologist to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It's difficult to say exactly how many sessions you'll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone's situation and recovery path are unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Véronique will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, which will be revisited as your treatment progresses.

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, establish diagnoses, create treatment plans, and perform certain restricted activities. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college diploma in physiotherapy technology and works under supervision or based on a plan created by a physiotherapist or physician. They assist with prescribed treatments, guide exercises, and monitor progress but do not diagnose or create independent treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first appointment, including assessment and initial treatment planning, typically lasts about 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions generally range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the specific treatment plan and your needs.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some coverage may be available if services are received within a public hospital or CLSC meeting specific criteria. It's advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private extended health plan for coverage details.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Absolutely. Physiotherapy not only treats current issues but also focuses on prevention. Véronique can assess your movement patterns, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, and develop personalized strategies and exercises to reduce the risk of future injuries or pain recurrence, especially beneficial for athletes or individuals with physically demanding routines.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiotherapy Technologist directly without a referral, known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy before your appointment to confirm specific requirements.
