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 usually 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 important to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your extended health benefits plan, as many private insurers offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a master’s degree in physiotherapy and is authorized to perform assessments, establish diagnoses, and create treatment plans. They are autonomous healthcare professionals. A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist) holds a college diploma and works under the supervision of a physiotherapist or physician, applying prescribed treatments and guiding exercises without diagnosing or independently creating treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at Physiomobile treat?

William treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes issues like back and neck pain, joint problems such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, nerve pain, and neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson's Disease. His practice also involves Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy for dizziness and balance disorders, as well as virtual physiotherapy consultations, all aimed at helping patients achieve their functional goals.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally see a Physiothérapeute directly without a referral, a process known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy to confirm whether a referral is needed before your first appointment.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy helps you move better and manage pain through personalized treatments. Whether recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or trying to improve mobility, William will develop a tailored plan involving exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you reach your health goals and live more actively.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessments usually last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for thorough evaluation. Follow-up sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your needs and treatment plan.
