Blackbird Physiotherapy started with a pitch to a loan officer about fingers. He bought it. Many years later, we’ve expanded to thumbs, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and pretty much everything else.
Today, our team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, a kinesiologist, and a registered massage therapist, allowing us to treat a wide range of conditions beyond the hand and shoulder.
Whether you’re recovering from a car accident, dealing with pelvic health issues, navigating a workplace injury, or simply need relief from chronic tension, we offer individualized care tailored to your goals.
Located in Nelson, BC, we serve clients from across the West Kootenays.

Our Story
A decade later, that vision has grown. We now have four Certified Hand Therapists with unique skillsets, and have expanded our team to include Kinesiology, Registered Massage Therapy, and Community Occupational Therapy. We also offer Functional Capacity Evaluations. This team approach allows us to serve the growing need for specialized care throughout the Kootenays.
