Welcome

PHYSIOTHERAPY IN NEW BRUNSWICK

Physiotherapy is a regulated health profession in New Brunswick. Since 1998, the College of Physiotherapists of New Brunswick (CPTNB) has been responsible for ensuring that physiotherapists in our province are qualified, competent and ethical in their approach to client care.

By ensuring that proper protections are in place, CPTNB upholds the expectations of New Brunswickers for the delivery of safe and effective physiotherapy services. We accomplish this important task by establishing and maintaining standards of competence, qualification, practice, and professional ethics that apply to all registered physiotherapists in New Brunswick.

For information on registration or for general enquiries, please contact the Assistant Registrar at info@cptnb.ca.

For information on the complaints process, general questions regarding regulation, or physiotherapy practice advice, please contact the Registrar at registrar@cptnb.ca.
