Sue HitzmanSue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT, is the creator of the MELT Method®, a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain.

Sue's interest in manual therapy began with her quest to find answers to her own debilitating pain. After receiving her Masters in Exercise Science from New York University, Sue went on to attain certifications in manual therapies.

In 2001, Sue was inspired to create "homework" for her manual therapy clients, which led to the development of the MELT Method, the first-ever form of Hands-off Bodywork™.

The MELT Method: Treating Yourself for Chronic Pain
Millions of people suffer from chronic pain. It is likely the most common cause of long-term disability.

A balanced nervous system and healthy connective issue can reduce chronic pain. The MELT Method may help. Melt once stood for:

Myofascial
Energetic
Length
Technique

As more techniques were added, MELT evolved. It now focuses on keeping your body moving fluidly.

The MELT Method is designed for self treatment. You can gently treat yourself in a way that isn’t intended to generate more pain. Movements are very small and slow.

Pain is exhausting and can destroy families. Anything you can do to reduce pain will improve your life.

Listen as Sue Hitzman joins Dr. Susanne Bennett to share how MELT works in reducing chronic pain.
