Why Join CPA?
The mission of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association is to advance the profession of physiotherapy in order to improve the health of Canadians. We achieve this by providing members with professional resources and practice advantages, and by the promotion of the profession to the public.
CPA programs respond to member needs, deliver peace of mind and practice advantages, promote the exchange of information between clinicians and researchers, and generate advocacy and awareness for the profession so that more Canadians will access physiotherapy on its own merits, free of unwarranted legislative or economic constraints.
