Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Physiotherapy

What Types of Treatment Can Be Provided at Home?

Depending on your condition, your physiotherapist may offer different types of treatment, including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, mobility advice, pain management education and recommendations to help you move around your home more safely.

Each session is adapted to your needs, abilities and the goals established during your initial assessment.

How Much Does In-Home Physiotherapy Cost?

The cost of in-home physiotherapy may vary depending on the clinic, the length of the session, the area served and any applicable travel fees.

Many private insurance plans reimburse physiotherapy services. However, coverage for in-home treatments and travel expenses varies depending on the insurance policy.

It is recommended that you verify the details of your coverage with your insurer and contact the clinic directly for information about applicable fees.

Does the RAMQ Cover In-Home Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy treatments received in private practice, whether in a clinic or at home, are generally not covered by the RAMQ.

Physiotherapy services may, however, be available through the public healthcare system, including certain hospitals, CLSCs and rehabilitation centres, depending on an assessment of the person’s needs, eligibility criteria and available resources.

In some situations, the CNESST or SAAQ may also cover physiotherapy treatments when they are related to a workplace injury or motor vehicle accident and the program requirements are met.

Is In-Home Physiotherapy Free for People Aged 65 and Older?

Private in-home physiotherapy is not automatically free for people aged 65 and older.

Certain services may be available through the public healthcare system, including through a CLSC, depending on an assessment of the person’s needs, eligibility criteria and available resources.

Private insurance may also reimburse part of the cost, depending on the terms of the policy. To learn which options may apply to your situation, contact your CLSC, your insurer or the clinic providing the service.

Can I Do Physiotherapy on My Own at Home?

A physiotherapist can teach you personalized exercises to perform independently between appointments. These exercises may help you maintain your progress and work toward your treatment goals.

However, a professional assessment is recommended before beginning an exercise program, particularly if you are experiencing persistent pain, reduced mobility, significant weakness or are recovering from surgery.

The physiotherapist can then recommend exercises adapted to your condition, abilities and environment.
