Intramuscular Stimulation
IMS or Intramuscular Stimulation, is a dry needling treatment for chronic pain and muscle tightness developed by Dr. Chan Gunn to treat the pain that arises in muscles when the nerves, which supply those muscles, become dysfunctional. The technique requires the placement of thin, flexible needles into muscles. The treatment is different than acupuncture, even though similar needles are used in both.
At Physiomoves, ALL of our Physiotherapists are certified in dry needling! Tyler, Dan, and Sol are certified Gunn IMS Practitioners, and can offer this service at both clinic locations. Tiphanie, Monica, Ravi, Derek, Cheyenne, and Lisa are all certified with the Kinetacore IMS Functional Dry Needling method as well. Tiphanie has obtained her lever 2 Kinetacore IMS certification.

IMS services may be offered in conjunction with your regular Physiotherapy treatment as deemed appropriate by your Therapist. There is no surcharge for IMS treatment.
I went into Physiomoves with severe hip pain, that was causing the nerves in my foot to be tender and painful as well. I was treated by Tiphanie and right away I could tell that she was knowledgeable. She introduced me to IMS and within 3 or 4 treatments I could feel relief. After 8 treatments I am back to working out pain free! I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone. Tiphanie, Tyler and the rest of the staff are great!! Thank you!
