The originator of this therapy is Dr. Chan Gunn. He is located in Vancouver,Canada and IMS is practiced around the world. Dr. Gunn has received many awards and honours for his research work on pain. For his work to relieve pain he is a recipient of The Order of Canada which is Canada's highest award. This therapy is slowly becoming more widely known and I believe that anyone with a pain problem should have a look at this therapy and,perhaps, try it...best wishes..ich...aka ichameleon..aka john woodward aka formerly disabled.
