- Neck Pain and Pain between the Shoulder Blades
My work requires me to sit in front of a computer all day. MELTing is both revitalizing and soothing. However, after two sessions of the foot exercises, I got a surprise when I looked at my feet. An old injury had left me with permanent swelling in my right foot. For the first time in 15 years, most of the swelling was gone, and it didn’t come back!
I am convinced that MELTing will continue to benefit me, my foot, and my hands. There are likely to be other advantages that I haven’t seen yet. Karin is awesome and will be my guide. I am grateful Karin.

On neck pain and pain between the shoulder blades
With a history of injuries involving both cervical and lumbar vertebrae, I have searched for many solutions to relieve chronic aches and pains that resulted from those injuries. Karin recently introduced me to the MELT technique. After the first MELT session, I noticed an immediate improvement in neck rotation. After subsequent MELT sessions, I can enthusiastically report that I am no longer experiencing any pain between my shoulder blades (something that has not happened on a daily basis in years). Another pleasant side effect to the MELT sessions is an uplifted more energetic sensation that follows me throughout the day. Everyone should experience a MELT session at least once in their life!

I have found that using the “Melt” method gives me a new sense of well being, and has also increased my flexibility and my balance. This method teaches you a sense of your own body and gives you the ability (through an internal assessment) to act before pain might set in. It has helped me to eliminate pain in my shoulders and back through its relaxing technique. I showed a friend of mine the basics for the feet and she was truly amazed. What is also amazing is that anyone can learn to do this, particularly with Karin’s patient and very relaxing instruction.

“You have heard the adage that "Believing is seeing." The adage for the M.E.L.T. class is "Believing is experiencing." After each class, I am amazed. I feel the same energy flow throughout my body and spine that I do when I take Tai Chi or go to the chiropractor.”

Karin, my feet are so much better since I have started MELT. If I do not do MELT each day I can really tell a difference. I did not expect this reaction from MELT. It is wonderful to be able to put a shoe on and walk. I still use the RX cream for those times when it does flare up and I am out but I no longer need to use it on a regular basis.
Neuropathy goodbye!

On migraines and ... just getting older
In addition to many years of migraines, muscle contraction headaches and tension in my neck and upper back, I’m now developing more of the aches and stiffness of advancing years. MELTing has made such a difference in keeping my knotty muscles under control, improving my range of motion, and relieving the tension in my shoulders, neck and back of my head. It has helped more than all the other methods I’ve tried, and I now have much less pain and stiffness. MELTing is a soothing way to end a long day after work, or to make a great start to a new day. Karin is a marvellous and patient instructor, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience the benefits of MELT with this positive, energetic lady.

Karin is such an experienced and knowledgeable trainer! She is always up on current fitness workouts and after experiencing her MELT session my muscle groups were the most relaxed they had been in a long time.

I attended a MELT foot treatment class at Foot Solutions in Cary back in early Feb ( I think?). I was the one that has had plantar fasciitis for 14 years and had right plantar fascia release surgery a year ago with no relief. I am so thankful that I found MELT! I use the soft ball and the larger firm ball and MELT every night. I recently took a trip to St. Augustine and dreaded the idea of walking all day and taking in the sights. I was pleasantly surprised how improved my feet have become. I recently walked my dog at a local park and made it 45 minutes, when before MELT I could not walk 10 minutes! I am not 100% cured however I have so much more mobility and my felt feel so much better. I will continue to monitor my progress and will follow up with you in a few weeks if I see even more improvement.
Go MELT!

I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for more than 10 years and have tried numerous conventional treatments with mixed success. I was ready to undergo shock wave therapy when I discovered in September 2009 the MELT foot treatment through Karin. After three months of using the MELT balls regularly, the plantar fasciitis has improved to the point that I no longer need to contemplate other treatment options.

Thought you might like to know that my masseuse told me at my last visit to her that my back is as straight as she's ever seen it. I've been pretty good about "Melting", but I confess that I've goofed off some recently.
And on Sunday, I went to church, followed by a trip to Chapel Hill to a concert, and by the time I got home I was in pain. The ol" right hip was telling me to get with the melting. I did, and in no time I was feeling great again.
I thank you so much for making it possible for me to be able to solve pain problems on my own without having to take pain medicine. It truly is a marvelous bit of knowledge you're passing on to your students.
