The Myofascial Energetic Length Technique® (MELT) hand and foot class is a system of self-treatment and teaches techniques to address misalignment, chronic pain, and the negative effects of aging. The MELT Method, developed by manual therapist and exercise physiologist Sue Hitzmann, uses specially designed hand and foot treatment balls to rehydrate and rebalance the body’s connective tissue. It aims to restore the supportive qualities of the connective tissue system to bring stability and balance back to the body.
The hand and foot treatment is a key component of the system, focusing on the hands and feet as foundational for the body’s overall well-being. You’ll learn simple self-treatment techniques using the MELT hand and foot balls. These techniques involve using pressure and gliding motions to rehydrate and release tension in the hands and feet. You’ll also learn about the science behind the MELT Method and how it can impact your overall health.
