At Neuractiv - Trois-Rivières, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Yanie frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many patients have found lasting relief from feeling like my posture is hunched or rounded, causing discomfort and achieved the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort under the skilled care of Yanie. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as attending and enjoying your children's or grandchildren's sporting events with a new lease on life.
• Physiotherapy with Yanie can be a transformative turning point for those affected by feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older. The shared goal is achieving understanding how to prevent future flare-ups and manage their condition long-term, paving the way for you to enjoy driving for longer periods without neck or back pain and a more active, vibrant life.
• Yanie frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of my child walking on their toes most of the time. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like working on detailed woodworking projects in your shop without hand pain.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Yanie, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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, while a referral is not legally required to see a Physiotherapy Technologist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first visit to ensure coverage.

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 degree in physiotherapy, granting them the autonomy to assess, diagnose, and develop treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. Conversely, a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans, guiding exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress to the supervising physiotherapist or doctor.

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

Generally, physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance. Some services within public hospitals or CLSCs may be covered under specific conditions, but for most outpatient private physiotherapy, coverage is limited. It is recommended to verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for extended coverage options.
