What is FIMS?
FIMS is a specialized dry needling technique that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate dysfunctional muscles and nerves. By addressing tight muscles, trigger points, and neural dysfunction, FIMS promotes relaxation, reduces pain, and restores movement patterns. If you have tried conventional rehabilitation techniques like exercise therapy, massage and manual therapy and have not seen improvement or have seen frequent recurrence of your issue, FIMS can help.
Benefits of FIMS
- Pain Relief: Effectively reduces myofascial pain, trigger points, and chronic muscle tension.
- Neuromuscular Re-education: Enhances muscle activation, recruitment patterns, and overall motor control.
- Improved Joint Function: Releases restrictions around joints, improving mobility and reducing stiffness.
- Postural Correction: Helps alleviate imbalances caused by poor posture, leading to better alignment and movement efficiency.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: Supports muscle recovery, prevents injuries, and optimizes performance for athletes.
- Rehabilitation & Recovery: Assists in post-injury and post-surgical rehabilitation, accelerating healing and restoring strength.
