IMS Acupuncture
A specialised form of acupuncture for the treatment of difficult pain & injury. Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) specifically targets the nervous system, resetting the muscle spindle reflex arc & length-tension of shortened muscle groups. A detailed assessment is required prior to a course of IMS treatment. Treatments are once-a-week and duration varies according to the nature of the pain / injury. Visit www.istop.org for a detailed description of the physiology involved in IMS treatment.

A bio-energetic treatment that involves tiny feather-weight adjustments of the bones of the skull and spine to re-balance the central nervous system.
