Who We Are
The Newfoundland and Labrador Physiotherapy Association (NLPA) provides leadership and direction to members in Newfoundland and Labrador and supports the mission of the CPA to foster excellence in practice, education and research and promote high standards of health in Canada.
As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.
