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.

    • Successfully complete two national board examinations (NPLEX), as well as provincial board examinations
    • Stay up to date with medical standards through Continued Education requirements
  • How do physiotherapists achieve their goal?

    Physiotherapists prescribe personalized therapeutic exercises, and provide essential education about the body, what keeps it from moving well, how to restore mobility and independence, and how to avoid or prevent bodily harm

  • What do physiotherapists do?

    Think of Physiotherapists as project managers for recovering from injuries.

    • Direct billing of most extended medical plans (including Manulife, Greenshield, Sun Life, Medavie Blue Cross, etc.)
