Postgraduate training has included numerous spinal manipulation and acupuncture courses, and he also hold diplomas in Advanced Clinical Hypnosis and NLP, which has been valuable in improving patients' overall experiences.
Clinical Specialisms:
Prem is one of only a few practitioners in the UK trained in the 'Gunn IMS' technique, an advanced form of intramuscular needling which allows for long-term release of structures that cause pain, rather than blocking the pain signal alone. Prem reports great success with nearly all spinal, rotator cuff and tendinitis problems, and particulary enjoys working on obscure and previously unresponsive pain/injuries. He has a strong belief in a 'hands on' treatment, which creates permanent change in muscle, joint and nerve function together.
