Chris Melmoth is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner & Shiatsu-Anma Therapist. His unique approach to hands-on healthcare is a combination of these two modalities.
In practice since 2002, Chris specializes in the proper assessment and manual treatment of chronic pain cases in which no other practitioner or procedure has been able to permanently help with.
His sessions begin with a very thorough assessment, taking into consideration the three main components of disease and dysfunction... biomechanics, biochemistry, and psyche. He then orchestrates the most efficient and effective treatment approach that will address your, or your child's, specific needs.
For chronic pain sufferers, Chris takes the time necessary to physically seek out the direct cause(s) of the pain. Most of the time, chronic pain is due to certain restrictions in the tissue... mainly fibrosis, scar tissue, and adhesions. None of which will go away on their own, and must be remediated by a skilled & qualified practitioner, which Chris is.
For clients who are simply seeking overall wellness, Chris works to first balance your nervous system and get you properly reconnected to your body. He then uses various techniques to "open the body's meridians", establishing optimal circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout.
The following hands-on techniques are commonly included in Chris's treatments in order to provide the best results possible:
Chris is not a medical doctor, and does not diagnose, nor practice medicine. His review of your health condition and medical records is for his own assessment purposes and treatment plan, but is not interpreted for, nor discussed with, clients.
More about Chris...
Chris began his career in healthcare as a Shiatsu-Anma Practitioner and certified Instructor, specializing in acupressure, meridian therapy, and the hands-on application of Chinese Medicine.
After that, he continued his education, further delving into the ancient Eastern practices of yoga, meditation, and Taoist internal exercises. He then learned and clinically experimented with various Western-style manual healing modalities, including psycho-somatic bodywork and energy psychology.
Most recently Chris became certified in Manual Osteopathy, which is a professional field of hands-on healthcare that has been practiced for many years in other countries, but is very new to the United States. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners properly assess and treat the body as a whole interconnected system, along with addressing its individual parts. They believe that in most cases the body has the innate ability to heal itself when harmful restrictions are removed, and when given the proper environment & nutrients to rejuvenate and thrive in. No matter what the symptoms or health issue a person is having, the practitioner examines how it may be related to and affected by the mind & emotions, the structure & function, and the biochemistry & organ health.
Chris has practiced in spa, chiropractic, and physical/athletic therapy environments, as well as maintained his own private clinic.
He has been a Massage Therapy Instructor for several different schools, and was the Massage Therapy Department Supervisor at Las Vegas College. He also has been teaching CPR/First Aid since 2006, and is a trained Emergency Medical Technician.
For 12 years, Chris was one of the main Massage Therapists for Cirque du Soleil, working at every show on the Las Vegas Strip. Now as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner he continues to work with athletes of all ages, and offer his skills & expertise to the general public as well.

Furthermore, Chris has devoted his life work to practicing & teaching the concepts of the famous Dr. Vincent Medici, 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.
