The MELT Method® is a simple self-treatment method that eliminates chronic pain, improves performance, and decreases the "stuck stress" caused by the repetitive postures and movements of everyday living. MELT was created by New York City manual therapist Sue Hitzmann, and it's now being taught across the country to groups and individuals by hundreds of instructors trained by Hitzmann. I trained directly with Sue and am thrilled to be passing on this message of self-care. The MELT Method is the very first Hands-off Bodywork® method developed for the general public as a self-care tool to prevent and relieve chronic pain. It’s an essential addition to any wellness or fitness routine. For more about MELT, go to www.meltmethod.com
