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 you offer direct billing for telehealth treatments?

    Yes. We direct bill to Canada Life (Great West Life), Sunlife, Manulife, Medavie Blue Cross, Pacific Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada, and WorkSafe BC for telehealth treatments.

  • 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!

  • What areas does Pinpoint Physiotherapy service?

    Our convenient downtown Nanaimo location (161 Selby Street) allows us to service clients from all across Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and the surrounding Gulf Islands. Many of our clients reside in Nanaimo (or surrounding regions such as Cedar, Lantzville, and Nanoose Bay), though we often see clients travel from Duncan, Parksville, Courtenay, Campbell River, and even Gabriola Island and Protection Island for our services.

    With our Telehealth Virtual Physiotherapy service, we can also remotely work with clients across British Columbia.

  • What techniques do physiotherapists use?

    Your treatment plan will usually involve education, exercise, and manual therapy components. Depending on your condition, this may include joint mobilization, manual therapy, massage, work hardening, pain reduction techniques, acupuncture or dry needling, modalities, shockwave, and general fitness guidance.

  • When do I pay for treatments?

    The time of payment depends on the source of your funding.

    • if there is a cost borne by you it is usually due the same day as the appointment
    • we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions'
    • if, for example, you have a lawyer covering the cost of treatment, you may not be required to pay at all
  • Is naturopathic care covered by my insurance?

    It depends on your plan. Naturopathic care is covered, to a degree, by many extended health care plans. MSP does not cover naturopathic services.
