Beyond Trigger Point Dry Needling
​
Setting the Standard in Safety and Effectiveness Since 1994
​

Gunn IMS is a whole-body approach for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes including muscle, nerve, joint, tendon, bursal, fascial and biomechanical problems. The approach, using intramuscular dry needling, is based on the neuropathic dysfunction model developed by Dr C. Chan Gunn. This model looks at the whole body, not just isolated areas of pain, and considers dysfunction in the nervous system as the cause of persistent myofascial dysfunction and pain.

Fireside Chat - using Gunn IMS with Olympic Athletes

9/30/2023

 
Try watching this just once! There is so much in this discussion. When I joined the IMS team, I realised very quickly how incredibly fortunate we were to have a group of instructors on the team who are ridiculously skilled, experienced, clever clever clever, absurdly humble, and above all supremely compassionate humans. I have had the privilege to teach with, chat with and learn from these people more than I deserve. Now it’s your turn!  Sit back and enjoy an hour of hearing just four of our amazing instructor team  talk about their experience using Gunn IMS with Olympic and other elite athletes  - Cory Choma, Lorrie Maffey, Susan Massitti and Dave Zelibka.
 
If you haven’t done the Gunn IMS certification course, and want to, go here  to apply.

For those of you who are already certified, come back and join us any time for Needling Review!
