The Gunn IMS Difference

  • University-affiliated curriculum
  • Safety standards embedded at every level
  • Built on decades of collective clinical expertise

Whole-body neuromusculoskeletal model

Gunn IMS teaches clinicians to understand dysfunction across interconnected systems, rather than treating isolated symptoms or points. This model helps organize clinical reasoning and supports more durable outcomes in persistent pain.

Safety as a clinical standard

Safety at Gunn IMS is not a single module or checklist. It is embedded throughout training—covering anatomy, depth, clean field, timing, and appropriateness—so safe practice becomes habit, not assumption.

Depth without shortcuts

Gunn IMS offers an accessible entry point without lowering the bar. Clinicians can begin safely, then progress into deeper regional and specialty training as their skills and experience grow—earning certification that reflects true clinical competence.

Learn the “why,” not just the “where”

Gunn IMS teaches clinicians to assess and treat persistent pain as neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction—not isolated trigger points. Our model organizes what you learned in school into a practical, integrated framework you can apply immediately in clinic.
