Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an appointment?

If you have further questions, email us at info@cliffmatsuno.com
How should I prepare for the first visit?
Please send all pertinent information blood work, film study etc. before your visit.
Please wear or bring a loose fitting t-shirt and for women a sports top, along with loose sweats or shorts for your appointment. A full physical assessment and a procedure called Myofascial Release is part of the visit.
What should I expect on the first visit?
Our focus is on rapid restoration. We do full assessment and treatment in one day. During your first visit (120-180 min.) you will receive an in-depth assessment along with a treatment to bring your system into balance.
We look at all aspects that may be contributing to your issue:
Structurally: we will evaluate and assess discomfort and dysfunction from cranium to spine, joints, fascia, muscles including viscera and digestion. Also check for periodontal issues that may have a somatic effect.
Mind/body: Assess somatic triggers that may elicit stress and or impair autonomic functions such as heart rate, digestion, respiration etc.
Lifestyle and behavior: review exercise, exposure to sun, eating behavior, sleep and recovery, meds, supplements etc.
Participating in the wellness process and a willingness to change old patterns of thought and motion is required.
What do you mean that many of your clients are complex?
The word complex is used by fine watchmakers. It simply means multiple parts that make up the whole. We look at some conditions as a symptom to a bigger picture requiring correction in several areas to remedy. (Sleep, Fascia, Stress, Nutrition, Dental/TMJ etc.)
How is this different than other physical therapy or chiropractic treatments?
Some procedures may look familiar, although our focus is on transformation from the inside out. Our philosophy is that the true nature of healing starts by removing the interference to access ones embodied intelligence. We assesses and treat Body Mind and Behavior. Our goal is to have our clients well on their way within 1-3 visits.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance. Super bills are available upon request.
