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.
