Daily living creates stress and tension within your body. Physical stressors may range from sitting at a desk to running a marathon. Emotional, mental, and environmental stressors also put strain on your body.

The repetitive stress of daily living literally gets stuck in the connective tissue, which surrounds every joint, muscle, nerve, bone, and organ. “Stuck stress” accumulates and causes dehydration in the connective tissue, which interferes with the nervous system’s ability to regulate itself and slows down the body’s natural healing process.

This creates a domino effect that begins with aches and stiffness and leads to common health issues such as neck and low back pain, headaches, insomnia, digestive problems, and injury. Accelerated aging and chronic health problems can follow, leaving us with limited options such as medication, surgery, and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle.

When the connective tissue is hydrated and free of stuck stress, your body functions more efficiently and natural healing occurs daily. MELT is a breakthrough self-care technique that directly addresses stuck stress and slows down the aging process by rehydrating the connective tissue and rebalancing the nervous system. 

The MELT Method® (MELT®) is a simple self-treatment system designed to help you stay healthy, youthful, and active for a lifetime. 

MELT, an acronym for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique, simplifies established and new neurofascial science into an education system  that is fun, engaging, and encourages lifelong self-care.

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

This preventative, proactive approach known as Hands-Off Bodywork® is a simple, daily self-care practice anyone, at any age or activity level, can use to effectively improve their sense of wellbeing and live a more active, healthy, pain-free life.

The missing link to pain-free living is a balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue, also referred to as fascia. These two components work together to provide your body support and optimal mind-body communication. MELT directly addresses these two systems of your body through the use of gentle tools (MELT balls and soft roller) for the goals of fascial tissue remodeling, pain relief, and performance improvement. 

MELT quickly rehydrates connective tissue and allows the body to release long-held tension and stress that leads to chronic pain. MELT is easy to learn and offers results you will see and feel the first time you try it. Changes in alignment, flexibility, energy, mood, and performance occur within only a few sessions.

The ultimate goal of MELT is to improve your body’s ability to restore balance and repair itself, which can create remarkable, lasting changes. MELT offers natural pain relief, allowing you to address the true cause of chronic pain, not just mask the symptoms. 

MELT makes use of gentle tools and self-care protocols to improve the supportive qualities of the connective tissue system, scientifically called fascia, as a vehicle to restore neurological stability and sensory motor control. The ultimate outcome is pain relief, and performance improvement.

The specialized MELT balls and rollers allow you to learn gentle application and specific compression-techniques that are suitable for anyone, at any age. Unlike heavy compression techniques and tools that can be too invasive for those suffering with a wide array of disorders, injuries, and chronic medical conditions, MELT’s unique method employs a non-traumatizing, indirect approach to self-administered treatments using techniques similar to that of a hands-on therapist. Using active and passive methods that a person can quickly learn, these light-touch techniques help regulate sympathetic to parasympathetic tone, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and fine-tune sensorimotor control.

New research has revealed the missing link to pain-free living: a balanced nervous system and healthy, supportive connective tissue. These two components work together to provide your body support and optimal mind-body communication. MELT directly addresses these two systems of your body in a way no other self-treatment does, as its focus is on restoring the fluid flow in fascia – a critical element to our overall health and immune functions. Far beyond a healthy diet and daily activities and exercise, MELT can prepare you for daily life and restore your body after any activity. In doing so, you’ll spend less time repairing your body and recovering from repetitive stress injuries. You’ll see and feel results in the first session.

The ultimate goal of MELT is to improve your body’s ability to restore balance and repair itself, which can create remarkable, lasting changes. MELT offers natural pain relief, allowing you to address the true cause of chronic pain, not just mask the symptoms. Using the 4R protocol of the MELT Restore program: Reconnect, Rebalance, Rehydrate, Release you’ll learn to identify pre-pain signals before they cause symptoms allowing you to become proactive, rather than reactive to pain and discomfort. You’ll eliminate the common culprit to pain symptoms and become your own self-care manager.

You’ll learn to identify your own common imbalances and access your “inner therapist” to save you time and money seeking professional help in your pursuit to lead an active, healthy, pain-free life at any age.

MELT is for anyone who wants to slow down the aging process and live pain-free. For women and men over 40 who want to stay active, mobile, and independent – MELT is a must. MELT is also for active younger adults and athletes who want to maintain a healthy body and achieve optimal performance without debilitating wear and tear. Even children can benefit from MELT.

If you are injured, post-surgery, pregnant, overweight, sedentary, out of shape, or have limited mobility, chronic pain, knee or hip replacements, or bone disorders – you can still MELT. It’s the best starting point for any exercise and wellness program. People who MELT regularly find that they can be active again. It’s just more fun to move when your body feels good, has more energy, and is free of pain.

MELT quickly rehydrates connective tissue and allows the body to release long-held tension and stress that leads to chronic pain. MELT is easy to learn and offers results you will see and feel the first time you try it. Changes in alignment, flexibility, energy, mood, and performance occur within only a few sessions.

MELT can help you fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly, have more energy during the day, improve your posture, reduce stress and tension, shed excess body fat, and even reduce the appearance of cellulite. Best of all, your body will feel great long after you MELT!

The results that MELT provides were previously available only through ongoing, costly hands-on therapies. Now you can be your own Hands-off Bodyworker^{® and be in control of your health.}

If you suffer from chronic pain, it’s best to MELT for 10 minutes a day up to one hour before bedtime to achieve a better night’s sleep, a key factor in eliminating pain and helping your body repair itself.

If you’re active, MELT before strength training to improve your stability and prepare your body for activity. MELT after a strenuous cardiovascular workout or sports performance to erase joint compression and stiffness, assist in recovery, and restore muscle synergy. 

Just 10 minutes of MELT, three times a week is all you need to eliminate the mental and physical stress that accumulates from daily living, before it causes persistent pain and dysfunctions.

It's easy!

1. Get started with Level 1: Hand and Foot Treatment

In this workshop series, you will learn more the MELT approach to pain and how to use the MELT balls and bunion band, so that you feel empowered to MELT on your own.

2. Progress to Level 2: Soft Roller Techniques

In this workshop series, you will learn how to use the MELT Soft Roller to work on the masses of the body and address the areas where stuck stress tends to live - the shoulder girdle, pelvis & diaphragm.

3. Attend Level 3: MELT Map Sequences

After you have taken the Level 1 & 2 prerequisite workshops, you will have the experience, understanding and practice of the MELT moves and sequences using the MELT balls and soft roller to now attend a group class, where there is less time spent on cueing and learning about MELT and more time spent on practicing and honing your moves and sequences. This is similar to how you would first attend a beginner's class to first learn the basics of the poses before dropping in to an all-levels yoga class. 

Get started by learning more about each of the levels described below.

You can buy the MELT equipment (MELT kit, soft roller) required for each of the levels from our online store and pick it up from our studio location.

When you sign-up for each of the levels, the required equipment is also listed on the registration page for you to add to your cart.

If you would like to try MELT first to see if it's a good fit for you, then sign up below to join the next available "Intro to MELT workshop"; otherwise, if no date is listed then join the email waitlist at the bottom of this page and we will let you know when our next "Intro to MELT" session will be taking place.
