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 utilize private insurance plans for coverage. However, care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and consult your private extended health insurance plan for coverage details.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiotherapy Technologist uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, manual therapy, and personalized education to assess, diagnose, and treat injuries, pain conditions, and physical impairments affecting muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and the cardiorespiratory system. It can help reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, recover from surgery, prevent future injuries, and enhance overall quality of life.

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. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy's requirements 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, enabling them to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. Conversely, a Physiotherapy Technologist holds a college diploma (DEC) focusing on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in delivering care by implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under supervision.

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

It is common to experience some temporary soreness after physiotherapy, especially when starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant increase in pain, neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact your physiotherapy provider or clinic promptly. They can advise on next steps and whether reassessment is necessary.
