The M.E.L.T. Method® (MELT®) is a self-treatment technique that helps prevent pain, heal injury, and erase the negative affects of aging and active living. MELT simulates the hand-on techniques that manual therapist sue Hitzman uses to eliminate stress, pain, and dysfunction in her private clients. This unique Hands-off Bodywork approach is the first treatment that simulates the techniques - and the results - of manual therapy. Since 2004 MELT has been a group exercise class designed to enhance the benefits and results of exercise and active living.
MELT offers the opportunity for anyone, regardless of age or fitness level, to improve their longevity through self-treatment. The consistent results MELT yields are remarkable and undeniable. Previously such results were available only through ongoing, costly bodywork from multiple practitioners.

I have been a personal fitness trainer since 1995 and own my own personal training business Fitness Personified Ltd. together with my husband Rufus Singleton.
When I discovered the MELT method in August of 2009, I knew immediately that I had found the missing link of fitness and well-being. I have watched people in pain despite their efforts of improving their bodies through exercise. Something was missing, and it was the regard for the needs of the connective tissue.
What I like best about the MELT Method is that it empowers people to take care of their own bodies using ‘Hands-off Bodywork’. The tools are little balls and foam rollers, and most techniques are very easy to learn. A client can very quickly begin to use the techniques on his or her own.
In December of 2009, I became the first person in North Carolina to be fully certified in the MELT method.

MELT was created by Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT, a nationally recognized somatic-movement educator and manual therapist. Her decades of practice, research, and study of anatomical science and alternative therapies have culminated in the creation of the very first self-administered neurofascial treatment technique - a revolutionary approach to pain-free fitness and longevity. To find out more about Sue and the science behind MELT, please visit her web site www.meltmethod.com.
