Long Covid/Parosmia
I was diagnosed with a condition called Parosmia, a long side effect of Covid. Out of all the ailments I have encountered, none of them have affected me so gravely.
After Covid, I didn’t regain my sense of smell. Instead, 97% of all food smelled rancid for almost 2 years. My regular ENT stopped treating me because there was no available treatment. I finally reached out to Cliff for treatment. Within 3 short visits, all smell returned! As part of an online help group for Parosmia I watched others get shots, surgery, and smell therapy. It’s been 2 years now and has never come back. I’m able to honestly write and say I’m done with it! Enjoying dinners with friends and family again. I know others that have been treated by Cliff for the same condition are also overjoyed.

Orthopedic Conditions
Hip
“Within three sessions with Cliff the chronic pain in my hip has fully vanished. We discovered and addressed the root causes, and I am joyful to be walking and dancing pain-free once again.”
— Aimee L. Author/Dancer, Palos Verdes CA
Cervical
“Came to Cliff in crisis mode. Had a pinched nerve in my neck which was having a dramatic impact on my life. I was in pain, couldn't sleep and I didn't know how much longer I could endure.
My established team of a Chiropractor, Masseuse and Orthopedist who had served me well in the past, but I wasn't responding. Cliff got my body back to feeling better and had me see that while I had a pinched nerve I had more pressing long-term issues and the pain was a necessary warning which I have heeded. Changed my diet; my perspective and I am much more optimistic about my long-term health.”
— J. White, Hollywood CA
Lumbar Surgery Cancelled
“I’ve suffered from a horrible backpain for few years and my doctors were recommending a surgery for herniated discs. I went to many different alternative healing modalities with some success. After a few treatments with Cliff, I started to gain more control over my back pain and understood the underlying cause. I am almost back to the physical activity level when I was healthy. I always hesitate to refer to Cliff as Physical Therapist, because he is so much more. He also collaborates with various doctors and dentists to find the best treatments possible.”
— Y. M., Engineer, Los Angeles
Physical Trauma
Auto Accident
“After being severely rear-ended in a car accident I lost my energy and activeness (with in a 4 month span). Often I would feel sick and just not have the energy to push myself. I would often feel dizzy and just not myself. During my first session with Cliff, he corrected my back and neck. He also consulted with an Integrative MD and a Holistic Dentist since my 2 teeth were knocked out. He used different techniques to realign my body and get my system to flush out toxins that were stuck in me from my accident. I could immediately breathe better after the treatment. I had 3 sessions total and it has helped me get my body back.”
— Meghan O. Palos Verdes
Auto Accident
“I was in a severe car accident a week before I was to run my first marathon. I went to Cliff after the accident for treatment. I saw him for 2 sessions and was able to run my marathon the next week. I did finish my marathon. Awesome.”
— P. L, Occupational Therapist
MotorPsycho
“My teenage son suffered from anxiety and depression but refused to see any psychologists. A friend (Holistic Pediatrician) referred us to Cliff just to help him relax and improve sleep. During the treatment, Cliff assessed the situation while constantly engaging with my son. I’m most thankful for his ability to connect with my son and speak the right words. Shortly after, there was a turning point in my son’s situation. Although I don’t fully understand, I thank God for the change, I believe Cliff has helped us along the (ongoing) journey of healing.”
— Appreciative Mom from Los Angeles
Visceral
Reflux
“I initially came to Cliff for shoulder pain during my pregnancy. After my baby was born, she developed acid reflux. My sister who is a Physician recommended that I take my baby to Cliff. After the first appointment my baby wasn't fussy from her acid reflux and knocked out the entire afternoon. As a result, her reflux improved, and her back muscles were relaxed.”
— M Arroyo, Pharm.D
Skin Disorders
“I had a severe rash and had seen many Dermatologists, but to no avail. "Cliff dedicated uninterrupted time and attention to both understand my situation. Gratefully, after just one visit, I felt much better, and after 3 days, my rash disappeared completely. Cliff's approach helped me where traditional medicine had not.”
— K. M. Marina del Rey, CA
Skin Disorders
“I was experiencing rashes and hives for a period of one month and was on all sorts of antihistamine and even steroids. Cliff suspected it had something to do with my adjustment to LA since I relocated from the east coast. After 2-3 sessions, I did not have to take any medication and completely healed.”
— Carina S. Brentwood CA
Complex Assessments
Autoimmune
“I had been suffering from an autoimmune type of arthritis for the last 16 years, and had been to many Doctors and Physical Therapists. I was unable to work as a Physician and was in a wheelchair and utilizing crutches when I first saw Clifton. He started using different techniques I was not familiar with to release muscle tension. Following the treatment, Cliff suggested that I see a Dentist for a possible Root Canal Infection. I convinced my Dentist, who took a Panoramic X-ray that was negative. A CT scan was suggested which showed an infection and cyst. The tooth was removed, and a bone graft followed. I'm extremely happy with the results and back to work without any assistive devices or swelling. I’m grateful for his expertise and his compassionate care.”
— A. K. MD, Pediatrician
Arthritis
“After years with problems with osteoporosis and arthritis, a few months ago I had the chance to meet Cliff, who really made a change in my life, giving me the possibility to do again things that since 10 years I could not afford. Before meeting him I went to hospitals, I saw plenty of doctors without any results and I continued worsening. Now I am feeling very well, stronger and self-confident.”
— F. Desideri Rome Italy
Rare Conditions
“After the first session, changes were apparent Physically and Emotionally. Ed has been extremely ill since 2008 with Churg Strauss (Rare condition that affects 1 in 10 million) and has the utmost confidence because of the benefits he has experienced. His gait and balance are better, and he is emotionally happier. I have become Physically Stronger, Healthier, and Emotionally Balanced. My face and body are changing, becoming thinner and more symmetrical along with Ed.”
— J. Nemor, Los Angeles CA
Pediatric Alternating Hemiplegia
“His approaches to her physical therapies have allowed her to progress much more rapidly than most kids with AHC (Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood). She is progressing so much more as a result of Cliff's hard work, research and dedication to her treatment. He goes beyond our expectations to educate us as parents and himself on possible methods to assist our daughter in her growth. We are forever grateful for his miracles.”
— Victor and Roxanne
United Airlines Onsite Therapy Clinic
“Cliff is one of most talented people I know. He worked very hard completing all the requirements requested by United SFO for setting up the onsite department, and it proved to be very successful for many years.
He and his staff were able to return employees to work very quickly and I am sure saved the company a great deal of money.”
— . Jensen, M.D., United Airlines Regional Flight Surgeon, Retired
Healing and Weight Loss
“Cliff is a masterful teacher of various healing modalities! His knowledge and intuition is beyond comprehension!! While he guided me, we witnessed an amazing healing within about 20 minutes! As we talked about my personal health and goals, he was able to tell me what was going on with my body. I was amazed at his intuitive quick assessment and hands-on treatment. I lost 3 lbs in the first week. I would highly recommend treatment or learning from him.”
— Carrmon B. RN, LMT ( Myofascial Practitioner) Austin, TX

“Cliff has taught me how to facilitate my body’s own innate intelligence to heal. It is much easier than I ever thought it could be. I worked with Cliff prior to two procedures that required biopsies and tests. Subsequently, all test results were negative as I knew they would be. Thank you, Cliff!

Muscular Dystrophy
The results I've experienced working with Cliff have been nothing short of miraculous. As a child, I was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a "progressive, degenerative, incurable" genetic condition, and he has been able to help me heal in ways that western medicine asserts as medically impossible. Like, rewrite-the-books impossible. Not only has any progression of the disease been halted completely, but we have been able to reverse its trajectory; I am seeing a dramaticincrease in my muscle strength and movement capacity.
Cliff's approach is empowering and supportive. He combines incredibly refined and thorough therapeutic skills, a cohesive treatment philosophy, a brilliant diagnostic eye, uplifting optimism, trust in the body's innate healing capacity, and a deep, heartfelt, genuine care that has made me feel truly supported in a way that I had never previously experienced. I've seen a litany of practitioners throughout my life and no one has been able to help me anywhere near as profoundly as Cliff has. He has also connected me with other brilliant practitioners to support his care plan.
Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am to have met him and to have the privilege of receiving his work. My life and my everyday experience of my self and body are profoundly different as a result, and continue to improve exponentially. He has changed my view of what is possible for my healing and continued recovery.
Cliff's work challenges you to expand your belief in what is possible for yourself on all levels, and he guides you masterfully to that end. It's like having the very best, most skillful and committed coach in your corner. If you put in the work and meet him halfway, expect extraordinary results.

— David Y. Wong, M.D. Integrative/Wellness Physician

— E.P., MD Psychiatrist/Author of “Rise Above It
“I have so much gratitude for the opportunity to observe Mr. Matsuno work with his wonderful patients. He definitely encourages one to open their eyes to the intangible and experience what seems simple and intuitive, yet dives so much deeper. Thank you to the long line of teachers and their teachers that have passed on their knowledge and gifts of healing, including Mr. Matsuno.”
— T. Hahn, MD
Assessment Teaching (Physical Medical Screening)
“He has an amazing gift and talent for spotting things visually before even touching someone. He noticed something was up with my mom's brain function just by noticing some peculiarities that her MD just brushed aside as lack of sleep. It turns out that she had a double hematoma in her brain! She had surgery and is now back to normal. Thank you, Cliff!”
— K. Naruishi, Chiropractor
“If you have a health condition that you’ve had a hard time dealing with, or just something that seems to be “off”, I strongly recommend Cliff. He’s helped me immensely with condition others couldn’t. I’m familiar with a lot of Medical and alternative practices so what Cliff does is not
entirely new but I have never seen one practitioner that has such a broad range of modalities and such effective therapies. Cliff has dedicated his life to helping others and he is continuously learning and expanding his skills. I always look forward to the tips and self-help articles in his newsletter.”
— Susan Negus
“I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for years, on and off and it gets triggered by various factors and I have visited endless experts and healers all over the world with no long-term result.
Cliff goes to the root of the problem and can see where I’m off before even touching me. He has been teaching me how to breath correctly, to sleep, to walk- basic things that I have been doing all wrong and its made a huge impact on my life. He has given me advice on which supplements to take, how to meditate and get into state to recharge and nourish my empty adrenals and he does the most epic adjustments and it feels like I’m 2 inches taller walking away from his clinic.
Cliff is an endless source of the most interesting knowledge and I can’t recommend him enough.”
— Nina Wiger
“Cliff is an amazing practitioner who is accomplished in a wide variety of modalities. His practice is not one size fits taking the whole person into account. He has a deep understanding of how the mind, body connection works related to physical body issues, which create long lasting results. When I arrived, I was injured to the point that my
life was on hold. My case was extremely complicated as I had multiple issues that had to be attended too. Cliff educated and worked with me unconditionally to get me to a place where I could go back to work, exercise, travel and lift normal everyday objects and return to my life. I trust him with my clients in tandem with the work I do with them. He has helped each and every one of them beyond expectation. I am so grateful to Cliff for his support and help and cannot recommend him enough.”

Telesessions - Pet
“I am so glad that someone recommended me to seek out Cliff’s help for my dogs hind leg/back weakness. I have a 13 year old beagle who was starting to show signs of slipped disk and back weakness. By the time I contacted Cliff, I was at my wits end because my dog could barely stand and could only walk a few steps with my help holding him up. He was on tons of meds and my vet was hesitant to do any surgery because of his age. After only one zoom call with Cliff and a few weeks of following all instructions, including adding chicken feet to my dogs diet :P, my dog can stand and walk … even run a little sometimes! I saw changes almost instantly! It’s a true miracle! I highly recommend contacting Cliff to help mitigate your dogs pain, especially before it gets to the point of surgery – his ways really work!”
