Reduce chronic pain with the MELT Method
A balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue is key to healthy pain free living. MELT can directly address these two systems in your body in a way no other self-treatment can, including diet and exercise. You’ll see and feel results in the first session. The ultimate goal is to improve your body’s ability to restore balance and repair itself. MELTing offers pain relief and the results are cumulative. It allows you to address the true cause of your chronic pain, not just mask its symptoms.
MELT's innovative self-care method will help you to prepare your body for any workout or athletic performance – increasing joint stability, muscle timing, and core control and decreasing your risk of stress injuries, joint pain, and muscle strains.

MELT’s Creator - Sue Hitzmann
MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique) was created by New York City manual therapist and connective tissue specialist, Sue Hitzmann. The MELT Method uses a specialized technique to help reconnect whole-body communication and rebalance the nervous system. It also helps to rehydrate the connective tissue and release compression in joints.
Meet Susan ... not Hitzmann : )
Not only does Susan look younger she also told me that she no longer has pain in her pinky that she previously could not even touch, it was so painful.
"For the last three months, the Melt Method has become one of my daily routines and the results are obvious: no pain, more flexibility, and more awareness.
And as an added bonus friends are saying I look younger than I have in years. As we age our connective tissue dehydrates and inhibits the way we are able to move. I melt before other types of exercise to prevent injury. Melting before I sit at my desk and in between clients takes pressure off my hands, arms and shoulders and relaxes my jaw. I am confident I can grow old without the beliefs in strain and stiffness and I can truly stay active. If the adage you are as old as you feel is true, I feel 16 not 60."
What a Difference One Melt Session Makes!
This is Diane, a Forever Fit member who is dedicated to her health and fitness. Recently Diane attended the Melt Method Clinic where we learned the Full Foot Treatment, the Full Hand Treatment and the Face Treatment.
The picture on the left is Diane checking in before Melting her feet, to get a sense of how her body feels before she Melts. The picture on the right is Diane checking in after Melting our feet, sensing the changes. What changes can you see? Notice the position of the stripes on her shirt, the position of her left hand to her right hand, the position of her left/right shoulders. When you look at her hands, can you see that in the after picture on the right, her fingers are more open/relaxed. Keep in mind that we did nothing to our hands or upper body between the first picture and the second picture. As well, if you look at the wrinkles in her pants, you can see that they are much softer creases in the after picture.
I"m alway stunned to see such profound changes in the body after Melting. Here's what Diane said, "I was noticeably more balanced in my shoulders and could feel how my head and upper body/shoulder girdle area were better aligned and more relaxed!"
Melt techniques are not magic, nor is it a gimmick. We simply use a small ball to manipulate the tissue to bring more fluids in to juice up the cells, to give us more range of motion, better balance and stability. We have more connective tissue/fascia, than any other material in our body. When stress build up in the body the connective tissue becomes dehydrated, therefore, we have a reduced range of motion and ability to balance. The body will then find compensatory ways to move the body which then increases the aggravation and... pain.
Aging is inevitable but how we age is a choice. If we are going to tax our bodies with work and play and we want to age well, we need to maintain the complicated machine we call a body. Melt Method is a simple, gentle and inexpensive way to do that, for ourselves on a daily basis. With Melt we don't need to wait for pain, we can be proactive, we can prevent and maintain our bodies.
