We make a point of providing exceptional healthcare
Pinpoint Physiotherapy & Health has been helping Nanaimo residents recover and rehabilitate since 2014.
Multidisciplinary Care
Pinpoint is a Nanaimo physiotherapy-focused clinic located in the beautiful downtown core, staffed by a team of professionals who take the time to find the true root of your problem.
A physician’s referral is not required to access the physiotherapy and naturopathic services offered at Pinpoint.
Careful approach
We take care to restore, maintain, and maximize your overall health and well-being.
We focus on building strength, function, and movement through the rehabilitation of orthopaedic conditions, including many issues of the muscles, nerves, and bones.
Our team is skilled in many therapeutic techniques to assist and accelerate your recovery in a way that’s best for you.
Expert team
Our therapists have a broad spectrum of experience that our entire team draws upon.
The Physios at Pinpoint have all worked in the hospital setting with medical and orthopaedic patients, and are skilled at progressing you at an appropriate pace through your recovery.
Our team members continue to expand and hone their skills, and are committed to integrating current research with expertise, client values, and available resources.
Generous appointments
We believe that effective therapy is built upon a combination of expertise, care, and time.
Our generous appointment slots give you one-on-one time to voice to your concerns, check your exercises, and reassess your progress.
This approach allows your therapist to effectively and quickly progress you to the point where you no longer need our services.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do RCMP members and Veterans receive special rates?
Pinpoint will bill services directly to Medavie Blue Cross. No charges apply.
-
Do I pay if the session is for an ICBC claim?
Clients seeking physiotherapy services after a motor vehicle accident do not pay any assessment fees if the treatment is ICBC-approved. However, the patient will pay $10 for subsequent sessions.
- you will require a claim number and approval from ICBC
- clients without a claim number will be charged our normal rate
- remember to bring your Care Card to your appointment
-
What happens during my initial naturopathic medicine appointment?
An initial appointment with your Naturopathic Doctor (ND) will consist of a review of your chief concern, as well as an overview of your current and previous medical history. Physical exams and tests will be ordered as deemed necessary.
-
Do I have to keep coming to physiotherapy forever?
Absolutely not! Our goal is to understand your goals, figure out everything that might be contributing to your injury, educate you and treat you appropriately, and then discharge you from care. You are certainly always allowed to come back to us, but our ultimate goal is to give you the tools to self-manage if at all possible.
-
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear something that provides us with easy access to the part of your body that you want help with. Your safest bet is to bring a loose pair of shorts (and ladies should bring a tank-top that shows off the shoulder blade area), no matter what you are being seen for. We have spare shorts and T-shirts for people who forget, but we can’t guarantee that you will like the colour!
-
Should I bring in X-rays, referrals, or my surgeon’s protocols?
Yes, please! While we can look up certain imagery, it is best for you to bring in any paperwork that has been provided to you that might relate to your injury or surgery.
