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 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!

  • What can I expect at my first physiotherapy appointment?

    On the first day we will assess your condition, educate you, and usually get started on treatment. Your assessment may include health history, evaluation of pain and movement patterns, strength, joint range of motion, reflexes, sensation, etc. Based on this assessment, your physiotherapist will establish a diagnosis and discuss your prognosis. They will work in partnership with you to develop an individualized treatment program. Expect your physiotherapist to guide you in performing therapeutic exercises in between appointments. Your progress will be monitored at follow-up visits and your physiotherapist may adjust your treatment according to changes in your body.

    For more details, please see our For New Patients page.

  • 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 happens during my initial naturopathic medicine appointment?

    An initial appointment with your Naturopathic Doctor (ND) will consist of a review of your chief concern, as well as an overview of your current and previous medical history. Physical exams and tests will be ordered as deemed necessary.

  • Are physiotherapy treatments taxable?

    No, physiotherapy services in BC are not subject to GST or PST.

  • What is naturopathic medicine?

    Naturopathic medicine is a form of primary health care that blends current scientific research and recommendations alongside traditional and natural forms of medicine. One of the main goals of naturopathic care is to encourage and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
