We blend Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) and Exercise Therapy for enhanced recovery

Understanding IMS & Exercise Therapy

IMS

Exercise Therapy

Exercise Therapy

Athlete receiving IMS physiotherapy

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) also known as dry needling, is a specialized form of physiotherapy that targets trigger points within muscles using fine needles. These trigger points, areas of tension and tightness, can contribute to pain, restricted movement, and muscle dysfunction. By stimulating a healing response in these trigger points, IMS encourages muscle release and relaxation, providing relief from discomfort.

Exercise therapy is the core of rehabilitation programs, focusing on prescribing specific exercises and movements to address musculoskeletal issues. It aims to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall function, helping individuals regain mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

The Benefit of IMS with addition to Exercise Therapy

Combining IMS and Exercise Therapy creates a synergistic effect that enhances the rehabilitation process in several ways:

IMS targets trigger points within muscles, reducing tension and pain, allowing individuals to engage more fully in exercise therapy without discomfort.


By releasing tight muscles and promoting relaxation, IMS enhances joint mobility, essential for performing exercises correctly and effectively.


IMS stimulates dormant or underactive muscles, ensuring proper muscle engagement during exercises for effective therapy.


IMS stimulates blood flow, promoting nutrient and oxygen delivery to muscles, accelerating the healing process.


IMS helps re-educate muscles to function correctly, crucial for restoring proper movement patterns after injuries or imbalances.


The combination of IMS and exercise therapy leads to improved exercise performance, allowing individuals to perform exercises with greater ease and precision.
