Physiotherapists help workers improve movement function so they can safely perform work and recreational activities. They assess and manage a broad range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems.
Physiotherapy can help workers with conditions such as sprains, back pain, strains, and posture problems. It can also support rehabilitation following surgery.
Physiotherapists work closely with other health-care providers and case managers to co-ordinate care and treatment. WorkSafeNB offers a secure online portal, MyServices, and direct-pay program for New Brunswick physiotherapists.
