What is MELT?

The MELT Method® (MELT®) is a revolutionary self-care system designed to help you improve performance, and eliminate the mental and physical stress that accumulates from daily living, before it causes persistent pain and dysfunctions.

Using soft rollers and balls, MELT blends mindful meditation and breath work techniques to help boost the body's natural healing mechanisms with self-myofascial restorative techniques that simulate hands-on therapeutic practices.

  • MELT enhances mobility, stability, and overall well-being while it helps to reduce and prevent chronic pain.

    If you currently have pain, the 4Rs of MELT can help ease pain symptoms and restore whole-body balance. If you are active, adding the 2Rs of NeuroStrength gives you a strategy for enhancing performance.

  • It complements and enhances all types of exercise, including yoga and Pilates but it's not an exercise program. MELT also enhances the results of hands-on therapeutic interventions, including reflexology, massage, bodywork, physical therapy, and mental therapies as it simulates these types of intervention. Use MELT between therapy sessions and you'll prolong and supportyour treatments. Your therapist will thank you for helping them help you.

  • You can find all of MELT self-care products on my store and can get in touch with me to book a private session or a join a group class.

“MELT RESTORES YOUR FASCIA TO A HEALTHY, SUPPORTIVE STATE.”
— Melt Method - Sue Hitzmann

What is Fascia?

Have you ever gotten up after sitting for a long period of time and felt so stiff and achy it was like you had just aged 20 years?

That's your fascia talking. It's a pre-pain signal, alerting you that your fascia needs some attention. Left unattended, this issue in your connective tissue accumulates and can cause a host of unwanted symptoms linked to low-grade inflammation.

Fascia is the three-dimensional biological fabric that surrounds, connects, and interpenetrates all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers and gives every system in your body structural support. From joint alignment to immune and neurological health, fascia plays a crucial role in your body's longevity, function, and form and keeps you feeling youthful, vibrant, and mobile. Think of fascia like a sponge. When it's hydrated, it's pliable and absorbs fluids easily but when it's dry, it's sti  and inflexible. When fascia loses its supple qualities, "stuck stress" accumulates.

When stuck stress and inflammation accumulates, all other systems' e ciency is disrupted. MELT will help you break this cycle by actively restoring the supportive qualities of your fascia as you age, giving you more resilience and vitality.
