Member Value
Membership in the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Nova Scotia Physiotherapy Association provides a wide array of benefits and services.
Most importantly, NSPA is the voice of physiotherapy in the province of Nova Scotia. Your membership supports our committed volunteers, who represent the profession with government, media, payors, other professions, and we represent Nova Scotia’s interests within the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
