How IMS Therapy Helps
IMS Therapy (Intramuscular Stimulation) is a form of dry needling designed and delivered by a trained physiotherapist. Each session is personalized based on your specific pain points, mobility, and health history, making it different from other pain management techniques.
IMS focuses on targeting trigger points and affected muscle bands to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and desensitize nerves. It’s particularly effective for those suffering from chronic pain conditions, muscle tension, and nerve irritation.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is all about getting to the root of your pain and mobility challenges, and figuring out how we can help. We want the experience to be relaxed, informative, and comfortable, so we can set you up for the best results moving forward.
Initial Conversation
To get started with IMS Therapy, schedule an initial assessment with one of our physiotherapists. During the assessment, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and specific goals.
Movement Assessment
Your physiotherapist will assess your posture, strength, flexibility, and areas of muscle tightness. We’ll pinpoint trigger points and areas of muscle dysfunction, which will help us develop a personalized treatment plan.
Identifying Pain and Injury
If you’re experiencing any chronic pain or nerve-related issues, we’ll evaluate the affected area to identify contributing factors, like muscle imbalances or nerve compression, which may be limiting progress.
Needling Familiarization
During your first session, we will introduce you to the IMS technique, including how dry needling works to relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow. This session provides the foundation to make you feel comfortable with the process.
Develop Your Plan
Based on your assessment, we’ll create a personalized IMS therapy plan designed to target your pain, restore mobility, and help you achieve long-term pain relief. You’ll leave knowing what to expect from future sessions and how we will measure progress.

Every IMS therapy plan is customized to fit your needs. Some people see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing treatment to manage chronic pain. Your plan could include:
