The MELT Method® was created by gifted bodyworker, researcher, and bestselling author Sue Hitzmann, to simulate the amazing results she offered her clients using the gentle touch of her hands. MELT is a  triangle of self care.  It’s three self-care treatment methods with one fundamental goal - to improve the quality and resilience of your active lifestyle so you can continue to do the things you love to do for life. 

Through a carefully coordinated series of movements and the use of specially designed balls and soft rollers, the MELT Method rehydrates the body's connective tissue (fascia), rebalances the nervous system, and restores space to compressed joints. 

The Hand and Foot Fundamentals is the foundation of the method. Treating your hands and feet is a missing link to active living. This is where you’ll start your practice and learn some fundamental treatments using your hand and foot kit.

The MELT Roller Fundamentals treats the untapped resource in your body called fascia. Using the soft body roller, you’ll learn to restore the supportive qualities of your fascial system, improve your overall sense of wellbeing, and eliminate persistent pain points using the 4Rs protocol of the method.

The Neuro-Strength Fundamentals enhances joint mobility, stability, and sports performance. You’ll soon learn why repetition is the blessing and curse of athletic performance. Using the 2Rs protocol of Neurostrength, you’ll learn how to eliminate joint instability, reduce muscle imbalances, and avoid repetitive stress injuries. 

MELT is for everyone. The MELT Method doesn’t replace anything you’re currently doing but is a great compliment to any hands-on therapy you’re receiving or athletic routine you currently do. MELT will help prepare and restore your body for physical activity, so you can be proactive and avoid the common mishaps of active living. And, if you have a current issue you’re wanting to resolve, MELT is going to become your restorative practice to return you to efficient living.

MELTing daily can help active younger adults and athletes maintain a fit, toned body and achieve optimal performance without debilitating wear and tear.  It also can help slow down the aging process for those in their 40s, 50s, and older who want to stay active, mobile, and independent. Even if you are pregnant, injured, post-surgery, overweight, sedentary, out of shape, have limited mobility, chronic pain, knee/hip replacements, or bone disorders — you can still MELT. It’s truly the best starting point for any exercise program. 

Corrective coaching empowers women to find and maintain a natural breathing rhythm that supports proper function of the diaphragm, pelvic floor and TVA Musculature, while performing exercises in a challenging multi-level workout.  We will focus on a very powerful tool: maintaining your Core Breathing Belly Pump ™(CBBP)* while training to enhance your body’s natural alignment and core stability system.
