FAQ's
What is MELT?
The MELT Method® is a breakthrough neurofascial treatment that restores the supportiveness of the body’s connective tissue to eliminate chronic pain, improve performance, and decrease the accumulated stress caused by repetitive postures and movements of everyday living. This intuitive system of bodywork allows you to tap into your body’s stability system to get out and stay out of pain. It can decrease muscular tension, improve posture, and makes you feel and look younger in just one session.
Who should MELT?
Melt is for EVERYbody! Melt is a must for all athletes and fitness enthusiasts. When used in conjunction with Kinesiology Taping, athletes stand to make significant gains in performance through increased proprioceptive feedback and reinforcement of corrective patterning. MELT is also for anyone who wants to slow down the aging process by helping to keep practitioners active, mobile, and independent. Those who are pregnant, injured, post-surgery, overweight, sedentary, out of shape, have limited mobility, chronic pain, knee/hip replacements, or bone disorders should MELT. It’s the best starting point for any exercise program. Long term, MELT creates and restrores a strong, flexible body that maintains its upright posture for life.
How does MELT work?
Day-to-day living creates tension within our bodies. Physical stressors range from sitting at a desk to running a marathon. Carrying children and heavy bags creates trapped tension, as does even the gentlest form of exercise. Emotional, mental, and environmental stressors such as processed foods, medications, environmental toxins, and daily worries all build tension in the body.
New science reveals that this “stuck stress” is literally trapped in our connective tissue, which surrounds every joint, muscle, nerve, bone, and organ. Unaddressed trapped stress causes connective tissue dehydration and cellular damage. 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 medicine, surgery, and a sedentary lifestyle.
However, when the connective tissue is hydrated and free of roadblocks, our bodies function at a more optimal level. MELT introduces technique that keeps our connective tissue and nervous system in top condition and slows down the aging process. MELT rejuvenates tissue hydration and relieves the tension of day-to-day life that gets trapped in our bodies.

Does MELT Complement to diet, excerise, and meditation?
Yes. Like Kinesiology Taping, this proactive approach directly treats the connective tissue where nutrition, exercise, yoga, meditation, and vitamins leave off. As a technique, MELT is unlike yoga, Feldenkrais®, Pilates®, or physical therapy because it addresses an entirely different system of the body. MELT is to the neurofascial system (nervous and connective tissue system), what all other forms of exercise are to the musculoskeletal system. MELT has been reviewed by internationally respected doctors, neuroscientists, and connective-tissue researchers, including Jean Pierre Barral, D.O.; Ben Domb, M.D.; Gil Hedley, Ph.D.; Tom Myers; and Robert Schleip, Ph.D.

How often should I MELT?
Most people MELT a minimum of 15 minutes, three times a week to experience immediate and long-lasting benefits. And if you want to MELT every day, that’s okay too .MELT before strength training to improve muscle performance or after a cardio workout to erase joint compression and stiffness.People who MELT regularly find that they want to exercise more often. It’s just more fun to move when your body feels good, has more energy, and is free of pain.
