Chris Melmoth is a Shiatsu-Anma Massage Therapist, holding a Bachelor's of Science degree in Manual Osteopathy and a Doctorate degree in Naprapathy. His expertise lies in chronic pain treatment through holistic healthcare methods that encompass sophisticated manual techniques aimed at permanently addressing the root causes of chronic pain. Additionally, he practices meridian and chakra balancing, which optimizes circulation, healing, and promotes positivity by unlocking the body's psycho-structural pathways.  

Since entering practice in 2002, Chris has been dedicated to providing comprehensive assessments and treatments for chronic pain cases, especially where other practitioners have failed to deliver lasting results. His consultations take into account the three critical components of disease and dysfunction: biomechanics, biochemistry, and psyche. This allows him to create a tailored treatment plan that meets the specific needs of both adults and children alike.  

Chris takes the necessary time to physically identify the direct causes of chronic pain, which are often linked to tissue restrictions such as fibrosis, scar tissue, and fascial adhesions. These issues won't resolve independently and require the intervention of a skilled and qualified practitioner.  

For clients seeking overall wellness, Chris initially focuses on balancing the nervous system, re-establishing your connection to your body. He employs various techniques to open the body’s meridians, ensuring optimal blood, oxygen, nutrient, and biophotonic energy circulation throughout.  

Chris's Treatment Philosophy:  

1. OPEN THE TISSUE - His foremost objective is to remediate all tissue restrictions, primarily addressing issues like fibrosis, scar tissue, and fascial adhesions, which are significant contributors to chronic pain and dysfunction.  

2. OPEN THE JOINTS - Specific techniques are provided to enhance space and mobility in your bones and joints, fostering optimal movement, flexibility, and mobility throughout the body.  

3. OPEN THE MERIDIANS - By genuinely opening the energetic fields of your body, Chris establishes optimal biochemical, bioelectric, and biophotonic circulation. His approach transcends typical energy work by delivering a tangible experience that you can feel, rooted in a genuine psycho-physiological context that does not require any belief in existential or fantasy elements.  

Common hands-on techniques included in Chris's treatments, aimed at ensuring the best outcomes, are:  

- Connective Tissue Remediation  

- Myofascial Release  

- Ligament Oscillations  

- Various Body Mobilizations  

- Cranio-Sacral Unwinding  

- Muscle Energy Technique/PNF  

- Active, Passive, & Positional Release techniques  

- Visceral Manipulation  

- Manual Lymphatic Drainage  

- Meridian Therapy  

- Jin Shin Acupressure  

- Suction Cupping  

- Gua Sha/IASTM  

- BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique  

Although Chris possesses a Doctorate in Naprapathic Medicine, he does not diagnose or prescribe. His evaluation of your health condition and medical records serves purely for his assessment and formulation of a personalized treatment plan, without patient discussion.  

More about Chris...  

Beginning his journey in healthcare in 2002, Chris started as a Shiatsu-Anma Practitioner and certified Instructor from the Shiatsu Massage School of California, specializing in acupressure, meridian therapy, and practical applications of Chinese Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Mikio Sankey and Dr. Tsuneo Kaneko.  

He has since expanded his education to explore ancient Eastern practices of yoga, meditation, and Taoist internal exercises, while investigating various Western-style manual healing modalities, including psycho-somatic bodywork and nutrition with Dr. Vincent Medici and energy psychology & nutrition with Morter HealthSystem.  

Chris earned his Bachelor's degree in Manual Osteopathy in 2023 from the National University of Medical Sciences, as this hands-on healthcare profession establishes a comprehensive assessment and treatment strategy for the body’s interrelated systems, while addressing individual components. Practitioners believe that the body inherently has the potential to heal itself when harmful restrictions are alleviated and provided with the right environment and nutrients.  

In 2026, he achieved his Doctorate in Naprapathy from the National Univ, which, while similar to Chiropractic work, places primary emphasis on the connective tissue surrounding joints, rather than the joints themselves. Naprapathic techniques are gentle oscillations that promote optimal joint health and mobility.  

Chris has experienced diverse working environments such as spas, chiropractic offices, and physical/athletic therapy settings while maintaining his private practice. He has also served as a Massage Therapy Instructor and held the position of Massage Therapy Department Chair at Las Vegas College. Since 2006, he has taught CPR/First Aid and is a trained Emergency Medical Technician.  

For 12 years, Chris was a lead Massage Therapist for Cirque du Soleil, contributing to every show on the Las Vegas Strip. Currently, he operates his own clinic, where he continues to work with athletes of all ages, extending his skills and expertise for the benefit of the general public.  

Furthermore, Chris is devoted to advancing the concepts of Dr. Vincent Medici, particularly specializing in the art of "opening meridians" using certain techniques & approaches that pierce the edge of the comfort zone… rejuvenating the immune system, revitalizing the body, and renewing the spirit.
