WHAT OTHERS SAY
“The FIMS dry needling course helped me look at the body from a big picture perspective. It made me understand the connection between injuries in various areas of the body and how to treat them simultaneously. I found FIMS most helpful with assessing and treating chronic pain and neuropathic patients as it can positively affect the nervous system from the source. I have found FIMS dry needling to be helpful in almost all patient populations and conditions. I have found better patient outcomes and faster results to treatment in many chronic conditions. Additionally, this course improved my clinical reasoning skills and how to treat the body as a whole instead of individual areas of injury. It has contributed to my overall growth as a clinician and has developed my skills in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of all patients. I would highly recommend this course for all clinicians irrespective of experience level.”

The structure and guidance from Ashish and Jigi were very valuable as a new grad to help me transfer from the textbook mindset to the reality of physiotherapy. They challenged me to think outside of the box and treat each patient holistically and as a VIP (very individual person). The regular case discussions, hands-on training, and feedback were especially helpful as I could translate that knowledge directly into my caseload. It aided me in performing a thorough subjective and objective assessment, which made making a tailored treatment plan that a patient would adhere to much easier. I would highly recommend this mentorship program to anyone that is just starting up as a new grad or anyone looking to consolidate and hone their skills as a physical therapist.

Ashish’s in-depth explanation of techniques and the rationale behind FIMS and Functional Assessment will help me view clinical cases—acute, sub-acute, or chronic—through a more informed lens. That will make an impact to improve my clinical efficiency to show results. I now feel better equipped to guide clients through their recovery process and build trust in my expertise.

I had the privilege of attending the FIMS (Functional Intramuscular Stimulation) course under the expert guidance of Ashish Vora, and I must say it was an exceptional learning experience. Ashish brings unparalleled depth of knowledge, clinical expertise, and teaching clarity to the course. His ability to simplify complex concepts, provide hands-on guidance, and ensure clinical safety truly reflects his commitment to developing competent and confident physiotherapists. His passion for teaching and patient care is evident in every session, and I walked away feeling empowered and well-equipped to apply dry needling in my clinical practice.Equally commendable was the seamless coordination and support provided by Bhakti, who managed the course logistics with remarkable efficiency and warmth. From scheduling to communication and ensuring each participant had what they needed, Bhakti ensured everything ran smoothly. Her approachability, prompt responses, and genuine concern for the participants’ comfort and learning created an environment where we could focus entirely on absorbing the content.Together, Ashish and Bhakti made this course not just educational, but also highly enjoyable. I highly recommend this course to any physiotherapist looking to advance their skills in a structured and supportive environment.

I recently completed the Functional Intramuscular Stimulation (FIMS) course, and it was an excellent learning experience from start to finish. Spread over two weekends, the course was very well-structured, combining clear theoretical explanations with thorough hands-on demonstrations.One of the standout aspects was how our instructors - Ashish and Jigisha consistently checked our technique on each muscle, ensuring we were applying the concepts correctly and safely. We were also given helpful memory tricks that made the learning process smoother and more engaging.The pacing of the course was just right—intensive yet manageable—and we were encouraged to ask questions throughout. The course also included comprehensive patient assessments to determine when FIMS is appropriate, and how to build individualized treatment plans based on clinical findings. At the very end of the course, an assessment of our hands-on technique was done which boosted my confidence and reinforced the key concepts.I would highly recommend this course to all other physiotherapists looking to expand their clinical skills with a well-organized, practical, and insightful approach to intramuscular stimulation.

My experience with Level Up’s FIMS Certification Course has been outstanding. The course instructor Ashish Vora did an excellent instruction on the content and making the course enjoyable. Ashish is knowledgeable and excels in teaching as well. The course comprised different elements including neuropathic assessment, rule in and rule out of patient clusters, safety and needle handling techniques and most importantly the clinical reasoning part with treatment design. In between the two weekends, I was able to apply the knowledge to my case load and formulate treatment plans incorporating other modalities such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise etc. The FIMS technique accelerates chronic pain management and enhances my therapeutic spectrum. The course is demanding but yet rewarding.

I’d highly recommend this course to any physiotherapist wanting to enhance their skillset and improve patient outcomes!

This course has profoundly enhanced my clinical understanding and practical skills in assessing and managing TMJ and headache disorders. From the outset, the course content was exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive. It seamlessly integrated foundational theoretical knowledge with practical, evidence-based approaches. Topics were covered in depth, including anatomy, biomechanics of the TMJ, differential diagnosis of headache types, and a wide array of assessment and treatment techniques. I particularly appreciated the detailed exploration of the intricate relationship between TMJ dysfunction, posture and various headache presentations, which provided a holistic perspective often missing in other programs.I must say Ashish was truly phenomenal and his expertise, passion, and extensive clinical experience were evident in every session. He presented complex information in an accessible and engaging manner, fostering an environment where questions were encouraged and discussions thrived. I truly admire his willingness to share clinical pearls and real-world case studies significantly enriched the learning experience, making the material highly relatable and immediately applicable.The practical sessions were a standout feature. Hands-on training for assessment techniques, manual therapy, and exercise prescription for both TMJ and headache disorders was meticulously guided.
