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
-
Can a Naturopathic Doctor provide medical prescriptions?
Yes! Prescribing pharmaceutical medications is within the scope of Naturopathic Doctors in BC.
-
What is the goal of physiotherapy?
A physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being. We understand that everyone has different objectives. The demands on your body differ greatly depending on whether you work a heavy job, or have a baby, or run marathons, or all three! We will help you set and achieve appropriate end-points based on your injury and interests.
-
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
-
Do RCMP members and Veterans receive special rates?
Pinpoint will bill services directly to Medavie Blue Cross. No charges apply.
-
When are telehealth appointments available?
Physiotherapists are available for telehealth appointments during our normal clinic hours, Monday to Friday from 7am - 7pm. Book in whenever is convenient for you!
-
Are Status Indigenous peoples covered for physio?
Unfortunately, no. We keep looking, but so far have not found any Federal or Provincial programs we can access that provide private physiotherapy services to First Nations people. It is possible that your individual band might provide you with coverage. For us to check we would need policy information from you. This would be your insurance company (such as Blue Cross) and your policy number and identification number. Please check with your band office for this information if you don’t have it.
Often Indigenous peoples do qualify for a small discount partially funded by MSP. To check on this benefit, the reception staff requires your birthdate and your Personal Health Number (PHN) which is found on your BC Services Card (aka CareCard).
