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

  • What do physiotherapists do?

    Think of Physiotherapists as project managers for recovering from injuries. A good physio doesn’t just treat you or prescribe exercises but will understand and manage all aspects of your recovery. Physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.

  • Does my insurance cover telehealth physiotherapy?

    Currently, Canada Life (Great West Life), Sunlife, Manulife, Medavie Blue Cross, Pacific Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada, and WorkSafe BC cover part, or all, of the cost of telehealth appointments. The specific amount of coverage you are entitled to will be outlined in your benefits package. We advise clients to check with your insurance provider directly, as the list is continually expanding.

  • Can a Naturopathic Doctor provide medical prescriptions?

    Yes! Prescribing pharmaceutical medications is within the scope of Naturopathic Doctors in BC.

  • How much does physiotherapy cost?

    Our rates vary depending on which treatment you require. Please see our Rates page for full details.

  • 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
  • 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).
