He has been a faculty member at several schools of Asian Medicine teaching acupuncture points location and theory. Mark’s postgraduate studies include an internship at the Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou, China. Mark has facilitated weekly meditation groups.

In 1985 Mark began studying Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong. The study and practice of Tai Chi and Qigong led Mark to investigate the philosophy behind these disciplines, culminating in his present career as a practitioner-teacher of Asian/Oriental Medicine.

Mark teaches methods that are adaptable to an individual’s personal health and fitness requirements.

I use a variety of Traditional Asian/Oriental Energetic Medicine methods including acupuncture, electrotherapy, tuina massage, cupping,  guasha, herbs, and qigong to promote health and to effectively treat and prevent a variety of disorders.” – Mark Melchiorre, L.Ac.
