REPORT FROM ISRAEL
Thanks for the update on courses in Canada.
Here in Israel we’re now offering around 10 courses a year on management of chronic pain using IMS, with a heavy accent on the Gunn Approach. I acknowledge that we are not CGIMS purists, but we are reaching upwards of 400 physicians and physiotherapists (and osteopaths and chiropractors) each year. We now have the highest number of primary-care practitioners doing IMS per capita in the world! Secondary-care level pain clinics are springing up over the country to manage myofascial pain. There are physicians who understand the myofascial approach in the Pain Units of almost all of the major hospitals in the country (tertiary care).
I don’t recall whether I’ve told you, but Israel has introduced IMS into the undergraduate curriculum of physiotherapists at Ben Gurion University and the medical school of Bar Ilan University, and into the Family Medicine training program at the Technion Medical School.
I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Chan, and to all of the staff, to have made this explosion in medical knowledge and advancement of pain management possible. On the one hand, it’s obvious that the Education Committee would list us as “rogue instructors” because we don’t use the Gunn book as the only source of knowledge. On the other hand, in the last 17 years that I’ve been teaching IMS in Israel, we’ve reached well over 1,000 therapists and significantly changed the burden of pain in many thousands of people. In the final analysis, that is the “primary endpoint” of all our efforts.
I send my love and warmest regards to all, and especially Chan and Peggy.

Dr. Gunn's response:
Thank you for your email. I am very happy to hear that you have done so well. I'm sure that the progress of IMS in Israel owes much to you.
The Gunn IMS Program is doing well in Vancouver under the new professor Michael Koehle and Joanne McBrinn at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
With the new Pavilion more MD's are becoming interested in IMS.

Dr Chan Gunn, East 1946-50. On 15th March 2018, the University of British Columbia celebrated the official opening ceremony of the Chan Gunn Pavilion at its Vancouver campus. This 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility for exercise and sport medicine teaching, research and patient care was made possible thanks to the generosity of donors including OL Dr Chan Gunn (pictured on the left wearing his OL tie). The new rehabilitation space, gym and labs in the Chan Gunn Pavilion will house researchers studying the healing power of exercise, working to improve athletic performance, investigating sports-related injury recovery strategies and exploring optimal exercise training for people with cancer and other chronic diseases. The Chan Gunn IMS Wing for research, teaching, and care will also continue advancing and promoting Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation as a treatment for chronic and neuropathic pain around the world, an innovative treatment developed by Dr Gunn in the 1970s. Dr Gunn said that he and his wife Peggy “are honoured that UBC has devoted part of this building to building on my life’s work in helping people”. A Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, Dr Gunn’s pioneering work in the field of pain treatment has been recognised with awards including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond and Golden Jubilee Medals, the Order of British Columbia and the Chinese Canadian Legend Award. He was named as one of the most influential Chinese-Canadians in Canada by the CBC and is a Member of the Order of Canada. UK Source: |
