The MELT Method is a self-care treatment that can help eliminate chronic pain, improves performance and decreases accumulated stress caused by the repetitive postures and movements of everyday life. MELT rehydrates the connective tissue, also known as fascia, rebalances the nervous system, and restores space to compressed joints. This is achieved using specialised soft rollers and balls to improve the hydration and fluid exchange in the connective tissue system.

MELT Hand and Foot TreatmentGentle techniques using the specialist MELT balls increases fluid flow through the hands and feet to the whole body's connective tissue (fascia), thereby creating a chain reaction and reducing pain, stiffness, stress and tension. MELT Hand and Foot techniques are easy, yet effective, and based on the concept that you don't have to cause pain to get out of pain.

RehydrateFascia, or connective tissue, is very responsive to two things in particular, tension and compression. When we sit for long periods of time, we cause a lot of tension and compression demand on this tissue. If you pull or compress parts of your body for long periods of time (this occurs to athletes, too, who train with repetitive movements – not just to the desk jockey working in a habitual, seated posture), it causes lines of strain and dehydration in the tissue. Over time, this dehydration becomes a body-wide issue with negative outcomes beyond common aches and pains. It stresses out your nervous system, weakens muscle contractility, exhausts your movement efficiency, and slowly gives you more noticeable symptoms like weight gain, bloating, and digestive issues.

Re-pattern Neural PathwaysIf your muscles feel stiff, joints feel unstable, or you are constantly trying to find a comfortable posture or position to manage the dull ache in your neck or low back whether you are sleeping or engaging in daily life tasks, knowing how to restore the efficiency and performance of your connective tissue (known as fascia) is just as important as eating a healthy diet, drinking water, and getting a restful night’s sleep. Restoring the stability of your fascial system can aid in the absorption, transportation, and elimination of nutrients and waste your digestive system manages and can also help you sleep better.
