IMS, or Intramuscular Stimulation, involves gently inserting a thin needle into a tight muscle, which can stimulate muscle contractions or twitches. This technique helps to reset muscles to their natural resting state, easing pain from tight knots, enhancing flexibility, and relieving pressure on joints. It’s effective for addressing movement issues and can help with nerve-related pain.

IMS can be a great addition to a comprehensive treatment plan, combined with exercises and other hands-on therapies for lasting relief. After an IMS treatment, it's common to experience some soreness and stiffness for up to 48 hours.

Before beginning IMS treatment, your therapist will talk to you about its potential benefits and any risks involved. Together you and your therapist can decide if IMS is the right choice for your needs.
