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.
-
Where is Pinpoint Physiotherapy located?
Our clinic is located in downtown Nanaimo, at 161 Selby Street. You can find a map (and clinic hours) on our contact page.
-
Is acupuncture painful?
No, it does not hurt. Patients often report that the acupuncture treatment itself is relaxing.
The needles used in acupuncture are much thinner than most people have experienced, with a diameter of a strand of hair!
-
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.
-
Does Pinpoint offer naturopathic services?
Yes! We are pleased to now offer naturopathic medicine and advanced injection therapies in addition to our wide range of physiotherapy treatments.
-
What if I don’t show up for a session?
Outside of exceptional situations, we require 12+ hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. We will charge you 50% of the appointment cost if you simply don’t show up for a scheduled session, so call 250.591.3730 in advance if you can’t make it.
