What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy, delivered by a qualified Physiotherapy Technologist, is a science-based profession that focuses on restoring movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of future problems. Your physiotherapist will use techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy (hands-on treatment), education, and advice, empowering you to manage your health independently and achieve your physical goals.

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

In Quebec, physiotherapy services offered in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is recommended to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for coverage details.

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

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

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

A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. Conversely, a Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They work under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, assisting in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress.
