CNESST/SAAQ
If you have been involved in a work accident (CNESST, formerly CSST) or a motor vehicle accident (SAAQ), our team at Urgence Physio are here to help. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy evaluations and treatments are covered under both CNESST and SAAQ.
Throughout your treatment journey, we will implement an interdisciplinary approach involving all members of our team to get you back to full function and health. We will be involved in your journey from the very beginning, as we will have regular contact with you, your family (if applicable), your doctor, your CNESST or SAAQ agent and your employer to provide the best condition for your rehabilitation. This level of communication between every party is vital for your rehabilitation.
