Dr. Gunn has published his memoirs!

Throughout his journey from his birthplace in Malaysia, to earning his medical degree at Cambridge University, to his current home in Vancouver, Dr. Gunn has lived an inspiring life! His brilliance, philanthropy and persistence have driven him to create a unique approach to managing persistent musculoskeletal pain. Clinicians from around the world have travelled to Canada to learn Dr. Gunn's approach – including from Australia, Denmark, Israel, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, South Africa, Sweden, the UK, and the USA - which is now used globally to provide relief to countless people. His insights into human physiology have revolutionised the way we conceptualise musculoskeletal dysfunction and have provided us with an intervention of unrivalled effectiveness.

In Dr. Gunn's words:

"The fully illustrated book describes my early years, my education, and my medical career. I talk about my immigration to Vancouver and how, while treating patients for the Workers’ Compensation Board of BC, I had my first insights into the roots of chronic pain. Other chapters discuss Gunn IMS, my interest in ancient Chinese ceramics, and how the state-of-the-art Chan Gunn Pavilion came to be".
