The MELT Method® is a breakthrough self-treatment system that restores the supportiveness of the body's connective tissue to eliminate chronic pain, improve performance, and decrease the accumulated stress caused by repetitive postures and movements of everyday living. MELT ( Stands for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique) simulates the techniques and results of manual, hands-on therapeutic approaches—we call it Hands-off Bodywork®. MELT techniques are designed to calm and rebalance the nervous system, so most students find MELT Method classes to be deeply relaxing.
New research has revealed the missing link to pain-free living: a balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue. MELT directly addresses these two systems of your body in a way no other self-treatment can by teaching you how to rehydrate connective tissue and rebalance the nervous system.
MELT now has 1,300 instructors nationwide and a following that includes the Olympic snowboarder Jamie Anderson, who used the method on her feet before winning gold in Sochi, Russia. Ms. Hitzmann’s best selling book, “The MELT Method,” was published in 2013 by HarperOne.
Teddi Sharpton is an Advanced MELT instructor (Level 5). She is trained not only to use the balls and roller, but also to teach advanced techniques that are used to help stabilize the hips and shoulder girdle.
MELT is appropriate for nearly all ages and conditions and has helped hundreds of thousands of people eliminate chronic pain, even when they’ve had it for years or even decades.
