Physiotherapy
Hands-on assessment and treatment for pain, injury, and movement problems. Manual therapy combined with targeted exercise.
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy treats pain, injury, and movement problems with hands-on assessment, manual therapy, and targeted exercise. In Quebec, physiotherapists are members of the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ) and are first-contact providers, which means you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see one.
What we treat
- Acute and chronic neck and back pain
- Sciatica and other nerve-root symptoms
- Sports and recreational injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Tendon and joint conditions (rotator cuff, tennis elbow, knee tendinopathies)
- Postural and ergonomic problems
- Whiplash and motor-vehicle injuries
How a course of treatment works
Your first visit is an assessment: history, physical examination, and a working diagnosis. From there, treatment combines manual techniques, exercise prescription, and education about what to do (and what to avoid) between sessions. Most plans include a home exercise program so progress doesn’t depend only on visits.
Same physiotherapist every session
You’ll see the same physiotherapist from assessment to discharge. Continuity matters: your therapist learns your pattern, tracks what’s working, and adjusts in real time without restarting the explanation each visit.
Direct billing
We bill CNESST and SAAQ directly. Most private insurance plans accept our receipts for reimbursement.
Conditions we treat with this service
-
Back Pain
From mechanical low-back pain to disc-related symptoms. Most back pain responds well to assessment, hands-on care, and a graded exercise plan.
-
Neck Pain
Stiff neck, tension headaches, and pain that radiates into the shoulder or arm. Common in desk workers and after motor-vehicle injuries.
-
Sciatica
Pain radiating from the low back down the leg, sometimes with numbness or weakness. Usually a nerve-root issue at the lumbar spine.
-
Tendinitis
Pain and dysfunction at a tendon from repetitive loading. Often called tendinopathy, the modern term that better fits what's happening in the tissue.
-
Knee Pain
From runner's knee and patellar tendinopathy to meniscus and ligament injuries. Assessment first, then a plan that fits the cause.
