Acupuncture is a time-honoured technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), practiced for centuries to promotex health and balance within the body. By inserting thin, sterile needles into specific acu-points, acupuncture seeks to restore the flow of vital energy, known as Qi, along the body’s channel pathways. This holistic approach is widely recognised for its ability to address a diverse range of health concerns, from chronic pain to stress management.

In addition to the traditional Chinese style, I also specialise in Nagano-style Japanese Acupuncture and Kiiko Matsumoto Style (KMS) Acupuncture. Nagano Style, developed by the revered blind acupuncturist Master Kiyoshi Nagano Sensei, is celebrated for its precision, gentleness, and, most importantly, its transformative effects. At the core of Nagano Style is a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between the physical body, mind, and spirit. Master Nagano’s exceptional palpation skills and heightened sense of touch are the foundation of this specialised approach, allowing for tailored treatments that resonate deeply with the patient’s unique needs.

Kiiko Matsumoto Style (KMS) Acupuncture builds on the teachings of Master Nagano. As his direct student, Kiiko Sensei has developed a distinctive approach that emphasises detailed diagnostic techniques and interactive feedback during treatment. This style is particularly effective for treating complex and chronic conditions, as it focuses on addressing the root causes of imbalance in the body.

Patients and practitioners alike praise Nagano Style and KMS Acupuncture for their profound therapeutic outcomes and gentle yet effective techniques.
