Questions people ask
Does IMS hurt?
People commonly describe a brief cramping or twitch sensation when a tight band releases. Experiences vary — a qualified practitioner can explain what to expect for you.
How is IMS different from acupuncture?
Both use fine needles, but IMS is grounded in Western neurophysiology and targets tight muscle bands, while traditional acupuncture follows its own framework of points and meridians.
