    I cannot recommend Diane highly enough; she is gentle, kind and extremely talented. Diane’s approach complements any treatment one might be getting from Western/modern medicine. She treats pain management, stress, infection, recovery from injury or operations and much, much more ..

  • I’m pregnant, finally. Thanks to you

    I went to see Diane with fertility concerns. I am entirely certain that it was due to Diane’s treatment that within a few months my cycle was back to normal and I fell pregnant. I would absolutely recommend Diane; her warm and calm approach was a big part of what made my sessions so beneficial.

  • My back is so much better

    Have suffered with long-term lower back pain and after one session I have now been pain free for 6 weeks. Was also given some excellent exercises and postural advice. Very approachable, professional and knowledgeable clinician.

    Brendan, podiatrist

  • Massive improvement

    After having had lower back pain for some time and trying so many different options I finally found Diane and I saw massive improvement after just 2-3 sessions.

    Michaela, Teacher

  • Very professional

    Diane is extremely professional and really puts you at ease, getting to the root of any issues quickly. Diane’s quiet calm perfectly complements the treatment, particularly if, like me, you are a nervous of needles. I would recommend that anyone who has been struggling with pain or a chronic issue give acupuncture a try, and cannot recommend Diane highly enough.

    I can not recommend acupuncture with Diane enough as she is so experienced and clearly has a wealth of knowledge that provide her with a unique talent. She is also a very kind and warm person on top of being incredibly professional.

KMS Japanese Acupuncture

Take control of your health and start feeling better with KMS acupuncture.

KMS Acupuncture

For health and well-being

Take control of your health and start feeling better with KMS acupuncture.

‘Kiiko Matsumoto Style’ Japanese acupuncture is a gentle, highly effective, style of treatment used to treat pain, stress-related issues and a wide variety of health complaints. Most patients after their first treatment report: ‘I haven’t felt as relaxed as this for years’.

What makes KMS Japanese acupuncture different?

KMS acupuncture may be quite different from acupuncture you have experienced before. Its greatest strength lies in bringing together the different strands of your health and seeing them as a connected whole.

It integrates modern scientific understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology with ancient Chinese knowledge of how the body’s systems work together.

Diagnosis is highly specific and person-centred. Tender areas, particularly around the abdomen and neck, can offer valuable clues about the underlying causes of your symptoms. When considered alongside your medical history and significant life events, these clues help identify which systems may need support to encourage healing and restore balance.

This sophisticated approach can be particularly effective in helping to resolve a wide range of symptoms while also supporting better health and wellbeing in the longer term.

Many patients can actually feel the treatment taking effect during the session—something that can be both surprising and reassuring, particularly if you are new to acupuncture.

How Acupuncture Can Help

The NHS recognises that acupuncture is a safe treatment with very few side-effects. It is often used for the treatment of the back, knee, neck and shoulder. NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) recommends acupuncture for the treatment of chronic pain.

Diane has over thirty years experience in Oriental Medicine, regularly treating many conditions including:

  • Back, neck, shoulder, hip and knee pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Stress, anxiety, insomnia and fatigue

  • Digestive and respiratory problems

  • Allergies and low immunity, including Long Covid

  • Menstrual and menopausal symptoms

  • Fertility and IVF support

  • Tiredness, weakness, feeling ‘under the weather’ or  ‘just not your usual self’

How Japanese Acupuncture can help you

Coming for just a few KMS acupuncture treatments can strengthen your own healing powers, leading to improvements in your symptoms as well as improving your general well-being. It can also help you cope better with chronic conditions that do not respond well to conventional medicine, or where the side-effects of medicines can cause even more serious health problems.

KMS acupuncture focuses on getting to the root of your problem. It treats your entire body, not just a specific symptom. For this reason, many patients report improvements in their energy, sleep and stress levels as a result of treatment.
