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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Does insurance cover physiotherapy treatments?

    Even though this is a common question, there isn’t a single answer. All insurance plans are different:

    • some extended health plans offer 100% coverage and unlimited sessions
    • other health plans give a set dollar amount to “spend” on physiotherapy each year
    • in general, it’s common for plans to cover $300 – $500 annually
    • we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions

    Remember, each plan varies. Some may require a Doctor’s referral or have other specific requirements, so it’s important that you get the details from your provider.

  • What is Pinpoint’s cancellation policy?

    Here’s what you need to know about cancelling or rescheduling:

    • provide 12 or more hours notice – no fee
    • provide less than 12 hours notice – 25% of the appointment cost
    • no-show, or provide less than 2 hours notice – 50% of the appointment cost

    To cancel or reschedule an appointment, you can:

    • contact us through this website
    • call our clinic at 250.591.3730
    • log in to our online booking portal and make changes there

    Remember, you can always set up automatic emails, phone calls, and even text messages to remind you of your appointments. Just ask reception!

  • 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.

  • Can anyone call themselves a Naturopathic Doctor?

    No. In British Columbia, the term Naturopathic Doctor is a regulated title. In order for someone to state that they are a Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathic Physician in BC they must:

    • Have a minimum of 3 years of pre-medical schooling with appropriate prerequisites
    • Complete a 4-year doctorate degree, including a 1-year clinical residency, and attain a Doctor of Naturopathy
    • Successfully complete two national board examinations (NPLEX), as well as provincial board examinations
    • Stay up to date with medical standards through Continued Education requirements
