Chris Melmoth is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and a Shiatsu Massage Therapist. His unique approach to hands-on healthcare is a combination of these two specialties, called Oste-Atsu.

In practice since 2002, Chris specializes in the proper assessment and manual treatment of chronic pain cases in which no other practitioner or modality 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 patients 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.

Chris incorporates the following modalities into his treatments in order to provide the best results possible:

• Osteopathic Mobilization
• Cranial-Sacral Therapy
• Myofascial Release
• Muscle Energy Technique
• Active, Passive, & Positional Release techniques
• Visceral Manipulation
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
• Shiatsu-Anma Therapy
• Jin Shin Acupressure
• Suction Cupping
• Gua Sha
• BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique

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, patients.

Manual Osteopathy is a professional field of hands-on health care in which the practitioner properly assesses and treats the body as a whole interconnected system, along with addressing its individual parts. We 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. 

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.

Whether you finally want to address your chronic pain, and get rid of it forever...

Or you want to reach levels of energetic health you never dreamed possible...

YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!!!
