Kiiko Matsumoto Style acupuncture (KMS) combines ideas and techniques of Kiiko's teachers (including Master Yoshio Manaka, Master Kiyoshi Nagano, and Master Yoshihiro Kawai) with her own clinical ideas and experience. 

KMS is rooted in classical Chinese medicine texts, with interpretations that often make connections with modern biomedical concepts. 

Many of Kiiko's novel point selections are based on her investigation of Chinese point names---and how these characters anticipate contemporary medical insights. She integrates history taking with palpation. Body memories of trauma and other significant history are reflected as tenderness at specific reflexes.

“I continue to study with Kiiko because there are always deeper levels of understanding that I access with every class. When starting, her protocols are easy use and extremely effective in clinic.  As my learning progresses, I understand more of the why and can apply these strategies in new ways. Sometimes I wonder if I have the time or money to apply to taking another class, but every time I am usually saying to myself within the first hour, ‘Well, that right there just made this class worth the price of admission.’”—Cheryl Kalsch-Lowrance from Hillsboro, OR
