IMS Needling

Intramuscular stimulation or IMS is a powerful treatment technique in rehabilitation. The use of a filiform needle to invoke a muscular relaxation really does provide symptomatic relief for a client. I do use this in my practice, however it is not the only treatment which should be applied. Its good for reducing symptoms, some times on its own client will improve, but sometimes further functional training and engagement will complete the rehabilitation process. Physiotherapy works best in a multimodal fashion.
