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, a practice known as direct access. While a referral is not legally required to initiate physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance plan before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

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 apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college-level diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises, but does not diagnose or establish treatment plans independently. Both professions 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?

Generally, physiotherapy services provided in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance plans. Some coverage may be available if treatment occurs in a public hospital or CLSC under specific conditions. It is recommended to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and review your private insurance plan for coverage details.

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at STADIUM PhysioOsteo (Clinique du Parc olympique) treat?

Vincent's physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes issues such as back and neck pain, joint problems like arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and nerve pain. They utilize techniques like manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education to help you reach your functional goals.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

If you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact Vincent or the clinic directly. They can advise, modify your treatment plan if necessary, or reassess your condition to ensure your safety and continued progress.
