Vancouver: IMS practitioners
I'm not actually injured, but my hips keep tightening up and I talked to my RMT today about going back for IMS. I haven't had it since my injury 3 years ago but it worked wonders then. My previous practitioner has moved to Chilliwack so I need a new one. Any recommendations?

I can't help out...but educate me...what's an IMS practioner?

Re: Vancouver: IMS practitioners
Someone who practices IMS!
IMS = intramuscular stimulation. It is usually done by acupuncturists, but can be done by other care professionals like physio, etc.

Gotcha!
I think Spaff did this when he was working at a physio clinic for a brief time (or maybe it was a chiro clinic).
I hope you get sorted out ASAP!

Re: Vancouver: IMS practitioners
It's also occurring to me that I should re-introduce yoga into my life... it's been awhile. :/

I got this done by a physio last year and he called it dry needling. Maybe you can look for that term in Google and see what comes up?

Re: Vancouver: IMS practitioners
All hail IMS! I've used in on various body parts over the years and it rocks. Awhile ago, my physio in Ottawa gave me a referral for a colleague in North Van who does IMS but I can't find it using the advanced search; however here's the certifying body to which he belongs so there will be some leads there. You can find someone who's located close to you.

cool, thanks.
I can find random people online but would rather have a personal recommendation. :)

Re: Vancouver: IMS practitioners
I've been waiting because I don't seem to need it anymore. Ever since my last massage appointment on Friday, plus yoga/stretching over the weekend, it has been completely fine... even after my 30km long run on Sunday. weird.

Re: Vancouver: IMS practitioners
That's good! IMS is good for situations where the muscles don't respond well to manual therapy, deep tissue work. It sounds like you don't need it!
