No, you don't need a medical referral to see a physiotherapist in Quebec. You can book an appointment directly. However, some insurance companies may require a referral for reimbursement purposes.

Please bring any relevant medical exams (X-rays, MRI, etc.), a list of your medications, athletic shoes if your problem involves the lower body, and comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated.

The initial assessment and follow-up sessions are $135 for a 45-60 minute appointment. Payment can be made by credit card, e-transfer, or cash. I provide an insurance receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if applicable.

Most private insurance plans cover physiotherapy. I'll provide you with a detailed receipt including my professional license number that you can submit to your insurer. Please check your coverage with your insurance company.

I don't offer direct billing to insurance companies. You'll need to pay for the session and submit the receipt to your insurer for reimbursement.

It depends on your specific condition. Generally, ice is recommended for acute injuries (less than 48-72 hours) to reduce inflammation and swelling. Heat is often better for chronic conditions to improve blood flow and relax muscles. During your appointment, I'll provide specific recommendations tailored to your situation.

Targeted therapeutic exercises are a crucial part of recovery. They help strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, restore proper movement patterns, and prevent recurrence of your problem. While initial discomfort may occur, properly prescribed exercises should not increase your pain significantly. They are carefully selected to match your current capacity and gradually progress as you improve.

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, chronicity, and your response to treatment. After the initial assessment, I can provide you with an estimate. Generally, acute conditions require 4-6 sessions, while chronic conditions may require more.

Treatment frequency depends on your condition. Initially, weekly sessions may be recommended, then we'll gradually space them out as you improve. The goal is to make you independent in managing your condition.

Yes, but not in the way many people think. Rather than focusing on 'perfect posture,' which doesn't actually exist, we aim for variety in your positions and movements. Staying in any position for too long can create stress on tissues and joints. During your treatment, I'll help you understand which positions may aggravate your condition and suggest strategies to reduce strain during daily activities.

Yes, physiotherapy can be very effective for certain types of dizziness and vertigo, particularly those related to inner ear problems like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). As a physiotherapist with specialized training in vestibular rehabilitation, I can assess your condition and provide appropriate treatment, which may include specific maneuvers and exercises to address your symptoms.

Yes, several types of headaches can be treated with physiotherapy, particularly tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck). The assessment will determine if your headaches can benefit from physiotherapy treatment.

Absolutely! Physiotherapy is safe during pregnancy and can help with various discomforts such as low back pain, pelvic pain, and pelvic floor issues. Techniques are adapted according to your trimester and specific needs.

Dry needling is a technique that uses thin filiform needles to target trigger points (tight knots) in muscles to reduce pain and improve function. While it uses similar needles to acupuncture, the approach differs significantly. Dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and targets specific anatomical structures, while traditional acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on energy meridians. I'm certified in dry needling and can incorporate this technique into your treatment if appropriate for your condition.

My approach focuses on manual techniques and therapeutic exercises, which are the most effective modalities according to research. I occasionally use complementary modalities such as taping or cupping based on specific needs.

Manual therapy includes various hands-on techniques to assess and treat joint and muscle dysfunctions. This includes joint mobilizations, soft tissue techniques, and specific stretches to improve mobility and reduce pain.
