Release stuck stress with MELT
Over a decade ago, Sue Hitzmann was at the height of her career as an international fitness presenter and instructor. She appeared to be in perfect health, yet she was experiencing debilitating pain in her foot. With a master's degree in exercise science and advanced training in neuromuscular therapy, she thought it would be easy to find out what was going on in her body, but even the most prominent doctors and physical therapists couldn't explain what was wrong. Although she was only in her twenties, Hitzmann's career was threatened and her quality of life was in decline.
Hitzmann learned the hard way that diet, exercise, and muscular strength are not the foundation of a healthy, pain-free body. As she sought the true source of her pain, she radically changed her focus from fitness to hands-on bodywork.
In her quest to live an active, pain-free life, she became fascinated by the emerging science of connective tissue, or fascia, which surrounds all aspects of your body, including your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. The researchers she met were discovering that connective tissue—the system of the body that supports, protects, and stabilizes—was responsive, adaptable, and renewable. What Hitzmann came to realize is that connective tissue dehydration is the underlying cause of the daily aches, stiffness, and strain that leads to pain, as well as weight gain, sleep problems, and many other seemingly unrelated issues. Through her personal exploration and private practice, she developed the MELT Method, and has since trained thousands of instructors in the science and application of Hands-Off Bodywork. 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 reduce cellulite.
While it may seem too good to be true, it's worked for more than 200,000 people so far. Translated into eight languages, The MELT Method is now helping people around the world. Live your best, most youthful and vibrant life possible. Free yourself of chronic pain and be healthy and active with MELT!

Cost about $95 to get you going, well worth it!!!
By Caliaha
Important note: You MUST have a soft foam roller and very small, very soft ball to use the techniques in this book. And, this therapy is not a replacement for strength training, aerobics, or muscle stretching. The workshop isn't a requirement; you can definitely learn the technique from the book. All you need is 10 minutes a day once you learn the "method. This is an excellent book! It's going to cost about $95 for book and equipment, so check my overview of pricing at the bottom of my review for more info.
I just happened to be watching Dr. Oz and he had Sue Hitzmann on his show talking about and demonstrating her new "MELT" Method. MELT stands for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique and focuses on hydrating your connective tissue and easing pain. Connective tissue is just below the surface of the skin and is a component of the whole body that is typically overlooked. This book will definitely help you understand and work with your connective tissue to improve health and well being.
Since I have my own home yoga, fitness, and meditation practice I was intrigued by Sue's theories and purchased the Kindle version of the book right away. I also got on her web site meltmethod dot com to find out more and was pleasantly surprised that she was having a workshop/class right here in Portland Oregon the same weekend! I signed up for the Sunday noon, 1.5 hour class with book signing afterwards.
Workshop: I attended Sue's workshop which was well attended by many people in my same age group 40-65, both males and females. Sue came in and with her high-energy she explained in very simple terms the theories behind her MELT method. She is a very captivating speaker! Then we learned all about the hands and foot technique which uses a small, very soft rubber ball (measures 1-1/2 inches across). You use a series of point compressions and various movements what she refers to as pressing, gliding, shearing, rinsing, and friction. Then she moved on to similar techniques using a soft roller. Excellent workshop and well worth the time and money if you can attend, check her web site!
FYI: All of the material presented in her workshop is also covered in her book. The book includes more techniques than the workshop covers.
Sue's MELT techniques are not new, they are traditional techniques of reflexology, chi, somatic-movement, self-massage, and even dry brushing and uses pressure-points and movement of lymphatic fluids. However, Sue's approach is a very unique combination of these traditional techniques in a high-energy, quick-fix, yet body-gentle environment. Her methods will help you get in touch with your body's alignment and you could very well heal yourself or at least reduce your amount of chronic pain. Using her methods over a period of weeks will definitely help you with pain management.
MELT addresses the four effects of "stuck stress" (which accumulates in the connective tissue and causes pain) with the "Four R's" which are: Reconnect (Body Sensing), Rebalance (whole body balance), Rehydrate (restore hydration in the connective tissue), and Release (decompression) in an absolutely wonderful combination that will get results!
I initially ordered the Kindle version of the book, but was concerned if I was actually getting as much as the printed book. So, at the book signing I also purchased the hard-bound, printed book, so I have both the Kindle and Paper book that I am reviewing.
The book is broken into easy to follow Parts and Chapters, but I would definitely recommend reading the first 100 pages of the book to fully understand the MELT method before starting the practice. Part four is excellent once you understand the methods and gets you going with your own self-treatment plan. All the movements are lined-out and include a short description and photo of each the positions and movements.
Comparing Kindle to Paper Book:
Note: I am using Kindle on an iPad
1. The tables in the book are easy to read, but in the Kindle version the columns don't line up very well and they are difficult to follow, especially in landscape mode.
2. You get all the same demonstration photos (Sue is the model) in both the Kindle and Paper versions. Both are of low-quality and although you can click on the Kindle version photos, they are quite grainy and do not provide any enhancement over the smaller photos in both Kindle and Paper versions.
3. I would opt for the kindle version over the paper version both for ease of reading and cost.
Reason for my Amazon 4 start rating:
I marked down this book for quality reasons, not content. The paper version is printed on very low quality paper, brown-ish newspaper print in simple black ink (no color photos and the black and white photos look low-quality/low-res). I was disappointed that page 157 was ripped out of the book down the center of the page, so this page is completely unreadable ...not a big deal since I have the Kindle version too :) For $26 I would expect better quality paper. I was disappointed since it had a full-color glossy hardcover, but when I opened the book it was cheesy, poor-quality I would have opted for softcover over hardcover and used better, longer lasting paper. Also, I don't believe the book was printed in the USA, but it's not apparent anywhere in the printed book. It doesn't say "printed in China," but my guess is that it is printed somewhere overseas. I believe her rollers and balls are probably also manufactured in China :( For these reasons I marked it down by 1 star.
I have to mention, I think Sue Hitzmann has a good thing going here that will probably help a lot of people by avoiding surgery related to chronic pain and getting off pain medications, but I also feel like it is somewhat "gimicy" that she's trying to sell her balls and roller. I understand everyone's trying to make a living and be successful, so I really can't knock it, it's just an observation. I believe in her heart she is truly trying to help people heal themselves, so in this regard the book and Sue's work deserve a 1000+ stars!!!
Sue's techniques are truly helpful. I learned so much from her in the workshop and reading and following her book. More than anything her book, instructions, and techniques really helped me to know and get more in touch with what connective tissue feels like over plain muscle stretching. I will definitely integrate her techniques into my home practice.
Sue definitely knows her stuff and she learned about connective tissue from the experts and even by dissecting cadavers! I'm still wondering if she found any sign of chi in there ;-)
Cost comparison:
Retailed Price (and price you'll pay for the book from Sue at her workshops): $25.99
Book price on Amazon, Paper: $14.29, Kindle: $12.74 (over half off Sue's price!)
MELT 3-ball set: Included if you buy a book at Sue's workshop AMAZING DEAL!!!
Workshop: $35, if you register online you get a $10 discount
YouTube Videos: She has lots of short-clips on the internet for free!
MELT 6-Ball Set with Video (on Sue's website: $40 (* see note)
MELT Body Roller: $40*
Alternative Roller: You MUST use a very soft roller for Sue's technique. I have a OPTP Foam Roller, soft/pink, $42 on Amazon OPTP Pro Foam Roller - Soft Pink Marble Full Round 36" x 6" and IN STOCK on Amazon :-)
*Note: Unfortunately Sue's balls and roller are not available on her web site and are on back order, so if you want balls, you must attend her workshop. I have NOT been able to find her soft small balls anywhere else, it's definitely a unique and very effective product!

Very Helpful Method/s For Easing Pain
By Kevin W.
For starters, there are a few things you may find helpful to know about the MELT Method. First, MELT is an acronym for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique. In other words, the method works to bring our connective tissues back to health--a key to healing many tension based ailments. Developed from her own her intuitive gifts and an impressive dedication to healing sciences and bodywork, Sue Hittzman has created "exercises" to help hydrate and restore your connective tissues, which eases or eliminates your pain.
I put "exercises" in quotes because the MELT method isn't about exercises in the aerobic classes or Pilates sense, but think more along the lines of relaxation and self-massage techniques. Sue Hitzman's goal was to create a self-help method which had similar results to her hands-on sessions. You should also know it does require a relatively small investment in equipment to get started; namely you'll need a soft foam roller and a small ball.
Sue Hitzman to re-create the effectiveness of her hands-on work in a self-help format. MELT restores the supportiveness of the body's connective tissue to combat chronic pain, improve performance, and decrease the accumulation of stress caused by repetitive postures and movements of everyday living.
My physical therapist introduced me to the Melt method several months ago. I had suffered from severe anxiety and insomnia and it was beginning to morph into chronic muscle tension that was, at the very least, debilitating. At one point I was told by a practitioner that this could possibly be a precursor to Fibromyalgia. That's when I got really worried and took up the physical therapist suggestion to try the Melt method.
Almost immediately my insomnia began to improve and my muscle tension began to ease up. Through discipline and commitment to the Melt method I eventually lowered by anxiety medication. I am still committed to the practice and believe that soon I will be free of all of my symptoms. I cannot say for sure if my symptoms were a precursor to Fibromyalgia or another type of auto immune disease but it certainly felt like I was heading down that road. Back then I felt that my body was, in fact, attacking itself. I no longer feel that way. I would recommend Hittzman's book to anyone that has dealt with anxiety, insomnia, neurological disorders, muscle tension/pain, and/or any other type of related issue. Life is too short to live with pain when there are potential solutions. Through a combination of proper hydration and free our muscles from tension, we can heal ourselves--or get much further down that road.
In addition to the Melt Method, two other books that you may find helpful: Get Fit in Bed: Tone Your Body & Calm Your Mind from the Comfort of Your Bed and The Miracle Ball Method: Relieve Your Pain, Reshape Your Body, Reduce Your Stress [2 Miracle Balls Included]. I wish you best of health and hope you find this review helpful!

Who knew those aches and pains were optional? MELT Method techniques have helped
By An Amazon Shopper
First up, I sought out this book because there's just no way I'm going to pay someone else to give me a massage. Lots of reasons for that, but that's the bottom line. I wanted to find some relief from aches and pains that I thought must be due to tension and built up stress, and this seemed a likely starting place that would be more comfortable than trying to work with a hard roller.
People are complaining that it seems too hard to get to the meat of things in the book. (There really isn't a quick-start section in the book, though she does walk you through a few things early on, those exercises aren't the main lessons, and they're just an introduction.) In some ways I agree that this not quite ideal, but then again she's crammed a memoir, textbook, and workbook all in one volume, and intersperses bits of each as you go along. Towards the end, there are more specific sections saying, essentially, 'if you want to treat this specific issue, do this, then this ...', and there's a lot to absorb before you get there. Working gently, with focus and attention is pretty much essential. Without learning what you're doing, why and how, I think it would be awfully easy to work sloppily and inattentively, which would probably decrease the effectiveness of the work. (That's my experience, at least. I have to be focused on what I'm doing, and paying attention.)
Me? I'm just glad the book EXISTS, whatever quirks of presentation it might have. I don't live in a part of the world where Sue might visit for workshops or anything else, and I don't have the freedom to travel, so this do-it-yourself technique is pretty much my only option. Better to flip through some pages, than do without.
Unlike some reviewers, I was not much annoyed by her writing style. I've read some really bad fitness/health books by people with more enthusiasm than material, and this book is leagues ahead of those.
The author is clearly kind of obsessive, but I don't think the book (or the method) would exist without that, so I'm not distressed by it. She's totally committed to sharing what she's learned, excited about her discoveries, fascinated by what she's learned, and amazed by the experiences she had along the way. Sharing this energy is part of the fun of the book, experiencing things she felt and thought along the way, and how one thing led to another. She's done her own research over years of work, and didn't copy someone else to get here, and I think that's admirable. If it takes her a while to explain all that, so be it. Her story and her journey are very personal, and apparently very deeply felt, and seems quite genuine. This personal style of presentation doesn't bother me.
The technical/anatomical stuff doesn't fascinate me quite as much as the rest of it, but I was interested to read about it, if nothing else to understand the parts of the body I'm working with.
If you're looking for a quick-start guide, the card set that comes with the hand/foot kit is really great, but it seems to me that the cards and the book (and the video, for that matter) don't quite match up. I'm assuming she added small things as things were in production on each item, so each has a little bit that's not in the others. The bits in question are interesting additions, but don't necessarily diminish the experience of working with the balls and the rollers.
A very brief session can bring a lot of relief, and it seems to me so long as you manage to do some pressure point work, gliding, shearing and rinsing, first with the soft balls then the harder ones, or just on the soft roller, that's plenty. :shrug: I like having a variety of options.
I just try to incorporate a bit of MELTing into every day, just to get a routine going, and it seems to be 'enough' pretty much no matter what I do.
The author does stress the importance of doing self assessments before and after each session, it really does help me notice the changes that are taking place. (For example, the difference in my hands seems kind of subtle, but it's there, and over time has gotten better still. I might not have noticed, if I hadn't made the effort to keep track.) It's possible that part of the self-assessment is more meditative than some people are comfortable with, but I do find it therapeutic and helpful. (It's a physical check-in, noticing what's going on with the body and limbs, noticing spots of tension or release, etc., not anything metaphysical/prayerful.)
As I've gotten older, I've had some aches and pains that came and went, stiffness that crept up on me, and I'd begun to assume that they were an inevitable part of the aging process.
After having worked with the MELT Method for a few weeks on my own, some of those aches are gone, and I feel more limber and alert than I have in ages. Moving is easier, and I just feel more comfortable in my own skin. Whew. Who knew that was even possible?
Sure, if I don't keep up with the techniques, the aches and stiffness come creeping back, (though staying hydrated as she recommends is very helpful), but at least now I know there's something I can DO to help them remain at bay.
I bought the book first, just to see whether or not the techniques were doable.
I even did a few things on my hard roller (which she cautions against, guess I missed that advice early in the book), and was definitely impressed. Wrong roller or not, the first night I used the MELT techniques, I slept better and more comfortably than I have in a long time.
Once I realized that I needed to find a softer option while waiting for the soft roller and hand/foot kit to arrive, (didn't realize what level of firmness/softness was required til I saw Sue on youtube holding/bending a soft roller) I got the idea to buy one of those foam noodles kids play with in the pool, since they were super cheap at the big box store. I covered that with two layers of 3/4" foam from an otherwise awful and useless exercise mat I'd bought years ago and never used. Still firm, but softer than the hard roller.
I rummaged around in a few stores, and found some rubber balls, and one little soft golf ball made of foam that I thought might do, and started experimenting with the hand and foot techniques.
My backordered products didn't take TOO long to arrive, maybe 17 business days from order to arrival on the roller? Less for the hand/foot kit.
I do prefer the MELT brand products to my cheap-y DIY versions, the balls in the kit are all a bit smaller than most of the ones I'd been using, and the soft balls are softer than anything I'd found (though the foam golf ball does come close, and works fine for the hand exercise where you work each finger, pressing first pad and tip into the ball one at a time.)
My DIY pool-noodle soft roller with two layers of softer foam on top of the rather firm noodle is pretty much just the right firmness, but I do prefer the real one.
The things I've picked up from her book that I've been trying to incorporate into my day:
1) Staying hydrated.
2) Getting a bit of sunlight, out doors, every day. (Shade is fine.)
3) Noticing what I'm feeling in my body. Aches, the urge to move, energy flowing, etc., whatever it is.
4) Noticing how movement seems to ease my stiffness, and how warming up makes moving less jarring.
5) Soft foam roller self-massage just feels good, so I don't dread it, put it off, or think of something else to do.
The one thing I do have trouble with is doing the MELT techniques at least an hour before bed. Not sure why, but some days it gets pretty late before I get around to it. I've decided to accept this as proof that I'm more active than I have been in a while, and that's a good thing.
For me, this is a do-able, adaptable set of self-massage techniques that help me feel more limber, active and comfortable.
I hope she comes out with more of the quick-start cards for the work on the rest of the body, I find the ones for hands and feet very convenient. Plus, the book is kinda heavy, and hard to maneuver when I'm doing certain moves.
The basic techniques are pretty simple, and once you get the idea, not hard to do.
