Look beyond trigger point dry needling to address the cause of persistent musculoskeletal pain!

Are you frustrated treating patients  who flare up or get worse regardless what approach you provide?
Do you have patients  who don't respond  "as they should" to exercise or manual therapy?
Are you interested in learning a unique  approach that can help your patients reduce pain and return to function?
​Notre cours en 3-parties vous apprendra :
Une approche globale du corps qui concerne le rôle du système nerveux dans les syndromes de douleurs myofasciales persistantes.

● Comment comprendre et identifier les dysfonctions sous-jacents du système nerveux
● Comment l'aiguille sèche peut modifier positivement la sensibilisation du système nerveux
● Comment regarder au-delà des tissus locaux dans le traitement des affections orthopédiques

Our 3-part course will teach you:

  •  How to understand and identify  underlying nervous system dysfunction
  • How dry needling   can positively alter nervous system sensitization 
  • To look beyond  local tissues when treating orthopaedic conditions​​​
​Vous acquerrez ces compétences :
​● Une méthode d'évaluation complète et cohérente pour guider votre traitement
● Des techniques sûres et efficaces d'aiguille sèche pour traiter 110 muscles différents
● La justification du choix du "dosage" approprié de l'aiguille sèche pour modifier de manière optimale le dysfonctionnement neuropathique

You will gain these skills:

  • ​​A thorough and cohesive assessment method to  guide your treatment

​Qu’est-ce que la Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS)?

What is Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS)?

 Veuillez regarder la vidéo ci-dessous  expliquant le Model Neuropathique Gunn de la Douleur Myofasciale et l’Approche Gunn IMS,
Please watch the video below explaining the  Gunn Neuropathic Model  of Myofascial Pain and the Gunn IMS Approach.

​Dr. Chan Gunn était un visionnaire dans la compréhension de la manière dont les altérations du système nerveux peuvent conduire à des dysfonctions musculo-squelettiques complexes. Il a démontré comment l’aiguille sèche intramusculaire peut avoir un effet bénéfique sur la sensibilité du système nerveux et peut améliorer les résultats du traitement des syndromes de douleurs musculosquelettiques. Grâce à des décennies d’affinement, son raisonnement et ses techniques de traitement sont utilisés aujourd'hui par des milliers de médecins et de physiothérapeutes avec un succès remarquable.

​
Dr. Chan Gunn was a visionary in understanding how alterations in the nervous system can lead to complex musculoskeletal dysfunction. He demonstrated that intramuscular dry needling can beneficially effect the sensitivity of the nervous system and improve treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal pain syndromes.   Through decades of refinement, his rationale and treatment techniques are used today by thousands of medical doctors and physiotherapists with remarkable success.

Gunn IMS propose des solutions de traitement et de réadaptation pour les patients souffrant de douleurs musculo-squelettiques persistantes. Vous apprendrez à reconnaître et à traiter à la fois les composantes myofasciales et neurales (câblage) des problèmes musculo-squelettiques que vous rencontrez dans votre pratique quotidienne. Notre formation complète accorde la priorité à la sécurité des patients dans toutes les techniques d'aiguille sèche, tout en maintenant une efficacité maximale. Le programme fournit une évaluation complète fondée sur des preuves et une justification du traitement afin d'intégrer efficacement les aiguilles sèches dans votre pratique.

Gunn IMS offers treatment and rehabilitation solutions for patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain conditions. You will learn to recognise and treat both the myofascial and neural (wiring) component of the musculoskeletal problems you face in your every day practice.   Our comprehensive training prioritizes  patient safety in all dry needling techniques, while maintaining maximum effectiveness.   The program also provides a thorough evidence-informed assessment and treatment rationale  for effectively integrating dry needling into your practice.
​

Course Content

The course will  cover education regarding Dr Gunn’s neuropathic model of myofascial pain syndromes, the effects of dry needling, and contraindications and safety considerations for dry needling including avoiding serious complications. You will learn how to conduct and interpret an assessment based on the neuropathic model to determine the cause of myofascial pain syndromes, which can then be used to devise a treatment plan using the Gunn IMS model. You will also learn to safely and effectively dry needle muscles of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine; shoulder and pelvic girdles; upper and lower limbs as well as muscles surrounding the TMJ. As the course progresses you will improve your clinical reasoning related to the application of the neuropathic model of treatment.
