Why be a member of the International MYOPAIN Society?
The focus of the International MYOPAIN Society (IMS) is to improve our understanding and care of myopain conditions including myofascial pain (MP), fibromyalgia (FM), myositis, muscle contracture, ligament strain, dystonias, dystonias, muscle spasm, and other soft tissue pain conditions.
