Kiiko Matsumoto Acupuncture Treatment Style
People new to acupuncture often are uncertain what to expect when they first visit an acupuncturist. At Emanuele Acupuncture Center, Rosanne begins her work exploring the patient’s health history and concerns. She then follows the “KMS” style of Japanese acupuncture by locating various reflexes which provide direct and reliable information about One’s health condition. Response to reflexes provides immediate feedback as the body coordinates to correct issues. Both the front and back of the body are addressed. The skillful location and insertion of sterile hair-thin needles is Rosanne’s expertise. Most people return for 6-10 sessions depending on the state of their health, sessions take 45 min - 1 hour and treatment cost is $90.
All procedures are painless and have no unwanted side effects
Acupuncture is an energetic conversation with the body
Rosanne's session typically begins with a calming treatment above the forehead. Much of the body relaxes at this initial stage allowing Rosanne to assess the next part of the treatment. Ultimately, the body's core energy, upright Qi, is strengthened and addresses underlying issues.
Rosanne has never treated a single person who did not recognize the soothing healthy state that is innate to us all.
