About Us

Our mission is to ensure that the public receives safe, competent physiotherapy care from qualified physiotherapists.

Every physiotherapist who practises physiotherapy in Manitoba must be a registered member of the College of Physiotherapists of Manitoba (CPM).

CPM does not promote the interests and/or advancement of physiotherapists. However, registration with CPM ensures that all members have met certain requirements and are qualified to practise as physiotherapists.
