I’ve just completed 4 intensive days of training in the Kiiko Matsumoto System (KMS), a Japanese acupuncture style known for its highly diagnostic, palpation-based approach.
We were incredibly fortunate to be taught by V, who has spent over 25 years immersed in KMS acupuncture and continues to study directly with Kiiko herself. He travelled from New York to teach us, and learning from someone so deeply rooted in this lineage was a true privilege.
KMS focuses on:
• Direct feedback from the body
• Gentle needling techniques
• Identifying hidden patterns
• Treating the root cause, not just symptoms
• Continuous reassessment during treatment
This allows for incredibly precise, responsive treatments — where we don’t assume, we test.
I’m excited to bring these refinements into clinic and continue offering treatments that are thoughtful, responsive, and deeply individualised.
