Common techniques include:

-soft tissue mobilization (massage)

-traction

-passive range of motion

-joint mobilization

-joint manipulation

​

​

Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Gunn IMS is a total system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes, including muscle, joint, tendon, bursal, neural and biomechanical problems.  The approach, using intramuscular dry needling, is based on a neuropathic model of musculoskeletal dysfunction developed by Dr. Chan Gunn.
