As many of you know I am a Level One qualified MELT instructor and I am enjoying teaching many of my clients some simple MELT method techniques to do at home which enhance their Craniosacral therapy treatments.
The founder of the MELT Method Sue Hitzmann, who is a craniosacral therapist, devised the method to give her clients techniques they could carry out themselves between treatments. Some of my clients have noticed that they can go longer between treatments since using the MELT Method.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, an athlete who want to enhance your performance, someone who sits at a desk all day, a new parent feeling stressed, someone who works with your hands or are on your feet all day, then the MELT method is for you.
My youngest client using the MELT Method is a 6 year old boy who plays football and my oldest is an 83 year old with arthritis, so the MELT Method is really suitable for all ages as part of a self care routine or to get you out of pain.
So what is the MELT Method? Read more to find out.

The MELT Method is a self-care treatment that eliminates chronic pain, improves performance and decreases accumulated stress caused by the repetitive postures and movements of everyday life. MELT rehydrates the fascia (the bodies connective tissue see my blog about fascia for more details https://www.craniosacraluk.com/blog/craniosacral-therapy-and-fascia ), calms and rebalances the nervous system, and restores space to compressed joints. This is achieved using specialised soft balls and rollers to improve the hydration and fluid exchange in the fascial matrix.
The basic principles of MELT starts with the 4 R's
Reconnect: Encouraging you to reconnect to your body and assess what is happening, for example where you might be carrying tension or stress. We reassess during and after carrying out some MELT moves.
Rebalance: Calm your nervous system, releases the diaphram and connects you to your body's deep core
Rehydrate: Restores the mobility and stability of your joints and muscle mechanics by rejuvenating the fascial system and fluid flow throughout the body by using some compress and lengthening techniques.
Release: Releasing the joint compression that contributes to chronic pain, inflammation and discomfort you can improve movement and reduce pain.
