Eliminate pain. Erase the signs of aging. activate living. Feel fantastic. 

The MELT Method is a revolutionary new self-treatment technique that empowers you to release accumulated tension and stress, reduce chronic pain, slow and reverse the signs of aging, and heighten your own body's ability to repair and heal itself.  It is a safe, rehabilitative method that uses gentle compression to re-hydrate your connective tissue and re-balance your nervous system.  The results that MELT provides were previously available only through ongoing, costly visits with hands on therapists.  MELT empowers you to become your own hands off body worker. This workshop will introduce participants to the MELT Method techniques in a 90 minute class. The effects of MELT are immediate, but with regular MELT-ing, you will learn to affect long lasting changes in your body that will help you stay youthful and active for a lifetime.
M.E.L.T. is an acronym for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique.
