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

It's not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after certain physiotherapy treatments, especially in the initial stages or if you're starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, new or worsening neurological symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), or if your soreness lasts longer than expected, it's important to contact CLSC COTE-DES-NEIGES SITE PLAZA or your Quebec healthcare provider directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

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 through private insurance. However, care received in a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. Most outpatient physiotherapy services in private clinics are not directly covered by RAMQ. It is advisable to verify your eligibility with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many include physiotherapy coverage.

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 referral, as part of the province's direct access policy. However, some private insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy before your appointment to confirm requirements.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapy Technologist. These techniques aim to assess and treat joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve mobility. Examples include joint mobilizations, soft tissue release, and, when appropriate, manipulations or adjustments tailored to your condition and therapist’s qualifications.

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

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, make diagnoses, and develop treatment plans. A Physiotherapy Technologist holds a college diploma (DEC) focused on the technical application of physiotherapy treatments. They assist in implementing treatment plans designed by physiotherapists or physicians, help patients with exercises, apply modalities, and report progress back to the supervising professional.
