Beyond Trigger Point Dry Needling
​

Gunn IMS is a total system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes, including muscle, joint, tendon, bursal, fascial, neural and biomechanical problems. The approach, using intramuscular dry needling, is based on a neuropathic model of musculoskeletal dysfunction developed by Dr C. Chan Gunn.

The Gunn IMS teaching program has run continuously since 1994. Since 2013, the program has been part of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Medicine and is now located in the Chan Gunn Pavilion on the UBC Vancouver campus. The course is coordinated by UBC Faculty of Medicine's Continuing Professional Development Division.

Online Course Offerings for Out-of-province Students

Registration deadline to register for our Part 1A self-paced online course is January 31

Due to the safety concerns provided by the current pandemic, it is a challenge to provide multi-day in-person needling courses across the country.  In response to these challenges we have adjusted the UBC Gunn IMS certification course to include both online and in-person components. The online components of training will be run throughout the winter and the in-person components are planned for the spring at our currently scheduled locations (subject to ongoing circumstances with the pandemic). In reformatting the course this way, the risk of disruption to training schedules is minimized and learning components that are not required to be done in person can be completed remotely.

The reformatted course is comprised of three parts – Part 1A, Part 1B and Part 2, and will cover all the material that was covered in the traditional UBC Gunn IMS Certification Course.
  • Part 1A (online $1025) will run over the winter. It will include lecture material, training in the Gunn IMS neuropathic assessment, completion of the anatomy and theory exams, and the submission of a case study. This allows students to complete all the assessment requirements for certification, other than needling, over the winter.
  • Part 1B (in-person $1100) is scheduled for the spring. It will include two days of assessment and dry needling skills.
  • Part 2 (in-person $1100) will occur approximately two months after Part 1.  It will include two additional days of assessment and dry needling skills.

Courses are currently scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and the Greater Toronto Area (Burlington). Please see our course schedule for dates, course information for more details, or apply here for training.

*Please note that all Vancouver courses will follow the traditional model of 4 days in-person for part 1 and 3 days in-person for part 2. The online training is not applicable for Vancouver registrants.
