Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), otherwise known as “dry needling”, is a method of treatment involving a single filament acupuncture needle inserted into contracted/shortened muscle fibres in order to create a muscle twitch response that results in reduced pain and tension generated by the muscle tissue and nervous system. Melanie is a trained Gunn-IMS practitioner which is an assessment and treatment approach that is particularly well-suited for chronic myofascial pain and muscular tension.
