What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy (also known as kinesitherapy in some French-speaking regions) is a health discipline that aims to prevent, assess and treat various physical problems.
Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques, including therapeutic mobility exercises, strengthening and endurance exercises, and manipulations. They work either manually or with equipment specifically designed to achieve our common goals.
Physiotherapy is prescribed by a general practitioner or specialist, but can also be prescribed by your surgeon (voucher issued with a specific mention defining the purpose of the therapy).

How does your physiotherapy treatment work?
Your doctor will usually issue you with a voucher for 9 sessions.
During your first session, your physical therapist will conduct an assessmentto evaluate your current limitations, set goals, and develop a treatment plan.
During these sessions,depending on your needs, your physical therapist may usemanual techniques orhave you performexercisesin the treatment room or exercise room using highly specialized machines or small equipment.
Your physiotherapy treatment is personalized. Every patient is unique, and every problem is different, so treatment is tailor-made.
Please note: In order for your basic insurance to cover your sessions, your first session must take place within 5 weeks of your physiotherapy voucher being issued. Moreover, the voucher is no longer valid after 3 months, so your appointments must be made within this period.
