The PR Newswire this morning spoke about a potentially revolutionary treatment for Chronic Pain that has been featured on Live with Regis and Kelly. The MELT method, designed by Sue Hitzmann, is being marketed as a way to target different types of chronic pain while making your body stronger. It also addresses connective tissue, or the dehydration of connective tissue being a root cause of most chronic pain. I find this interesting, as I have severe Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and have had issues with connective tissue for many years now… Sue Hitzmann asks us how much water we consume regularly? Do you drink ENOUGH water? I don’t think I do… I used to drink at least 2 litres of water a day, but when I am in a flare, I tend not to want to put anything in my body, including water.
I took a look at her website, and I must say, it looks like a well researched and easy program to follow. The things I thought would be beneficial are a) It is all natural, and doesn’t involve putting yet ANOTHER medication into our bodies. b) It is self-treatment, so on days when it is impossible to get out of the house, you don’t have to go to a practitioner outside of the home for treatment. c) The MELT Method speaks about the 4 R’s that the program is built upon – reconnect, rebalance, release, rehydrate… all simple concepts, but I think ALL of these things are issues for everyone pain or not.
I just wanted to pass the info along…. This isn’t a formal review of this product, nor am I trying to sell this product. I am simply trying to pass along information that someone might find useful in their journey to finding proper treatment for their chronic pain. I do believe that there is also a MELT Facebook group, if anyone is interested in checking it out to gain more info…
I don’t believe in MAGIC cures people – I have learned the hard way after spending thousands of dollars on every modality of treatment, every tool, every gadget that I could get my hands on when my life fell apart… But that isn’t to say that there are not valid forms of treatment out there that can help us manage better in our day-to-day lives.
I’d be interested in trying this method out, it is akin to physiotherapy at home, and I think it could be useful. there is definitely a SCIENCE behind this method.
Happy Monday to everyone! I hope you all had a delicious weekend 
Thanks for passing along the information. I will definitely visit the MELT website and see what its all about.
Hope you are feeling better! I read your posts about a flare up and migraine. My thoughts are certainly with you, and send some reassuring (((((hugs))))).
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! I love our little community here… I think it is awesome that we give each other so much support.. It makes me feel honored to be in a community with so many compassionate people.
((((HUGS)))) back at you!
It almost sounds to easy to be true but for $40 and the fact that it is all natural it might just be worth trying.
Thanks.
Ya, I don’t think it’s a cure sweets, but I can see it as another ‘tool’ that might help someone in their management. It sounds like some things I’ve done in physiotherapy. I definitely dint believe in the cure-all notion when it comes to anything
. I was once told if I bought a $500 magnet and slept with it under my bed that I’d be cured!! No lie!!! LOL!!
I was also told that and actually considered buying the stupid thing. Of course, that was before I developed my “chronic” wisdom! HA!
Would you still “adore” me if I told you I actually bought it?!? I also bought the magnetic blanket! LMAO!! And um, ya…. they haven’t been effective pain management tools…
the blanket is comfy though 
Should be for $300! YIKES…. It is one of the MANY things I tried 4 years ago that didn’t work….. LOL!!
ROTFLOL! Yup! You just endeared yourself to me forever! LOL! Oh gosh! The things we do to get well. But you know….it’s all in our heads….we are just lazy people!
I just had someone try to sell me one of those blankets! I was like no thank you and Hell no!
Oh YES… If it was toted to be the next pain CURE, I TRIED IT!! LOL!! I am BUSTED!! I am sitting on my lovely magnetic blanket right now actually! Aaahhh….. It is a MIRACLE CURE!!!! NOT!!!! It is soft though
I am using it until it FALLS apart… $300 for a flipping piece of fleece with 12 fridge magnetic sewn into it!!
And the only thing the magnet under my bed did was collect dust, and make my insomnia even worse because it made whirring noises ALL NIGHT!!!!!
Yep, I would be healed if I wasn’t so lazy and just exercised more….. WHY didn’t I think of that before losing the $20,000 I invested into my health OUTSIDE of the health care system?? It is pretty darn expensive to be so lazy!!
(Not one hint of sarcasm in that statement… I promise!)
ROFL…. Yikes… I feel so much better now that I have exclaimed to the world I have purchased $800 worth of fridge magnets!!
Oh my God! I almost pee’d my pants I laughed so hard! I so needed a good laugh today! Oh my gosh! I can’t stop laughing! cough cough. Well, laughing and cough!
My gosh you are funny! I do have to say it does take a lot of guts to tell the whole internet that you spent $800 on magnets. LOL. Oh there I go again! Oh my gosh! LOL
BTW, I have some swamp land if you have any money left over from all your other purchases! LOL Sorry, I couldn’t resist! LOL
I have to stop laughing. It makes me cough really hard.
Oh, but that was so much fun….and so needed!
I would be in so much trouble if you lived anywhere near me. Oh boy!
If the swamp land is close to where you live, I am in!!!
And maybe laughter is the best medicine right now?
I may have to take a bank loan out for that swamp land though…. I am still paying off the water filter that was supposed to cure me!
Just teasing!!
ROTFLOL! Oh my gosh! You got suckered again! LOL JK
I’d do just about anything to get away for awhile!!
Calgon didn’t work… maybe I should come for a visit 
Wow. I am thrilled someone out there is writing about MELT out of no where! And the crazy thing is, it really does work. After doing this technique with literally thousands of people over the past 7 years, it’s time more people learned about how the neurofascial system operates and how easy it is to tap into and make whole-body changes.
If ever you are in NYC, look me up. I’d be happy to have you come to a MELT class!!!
WOW! Is this the real Sue Hitzmann?!?
I am HONORED that you came to visit me here!! Thank you so much!
I wonder if you would be interested in sending me the tools I would need to do a review here on Graceful Agony?
I am so intrigued by your techniques, and see so much validity in what you do. There is so little known about myofascial tissue, its dysfunction – and how it operates. I had never even heard of Myofascial Pain until I was diagnosed with it myself. It has robbed me of 4 years of my life, and it is difficult to find practitioners that are educated about the neurofascial system and how to facilitate healing.
I am SO intrigued by your method, and would love to be able to take part in your treatment, and share the results with my readers.
Unfortunately I don’t think I am going to be in New York anytime soon!
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment! I get visits to my page EVERY day by people who are researching MELT on Google. So many of us are looking for a safe, drug-free way to manage our pain and instigate healing in our bodies… It is wonderful to know that there are options out there.
If I am ever in NYC, I will be sure to look you up

I have had chronic plantar faschitis for 14 years. Have worn orthodics, iced, stretched, steriod shots, and surgery. I started MELT (since I had nothing to lose) and have been doing it daily for about 6 weeks. I am so amazed how better my feet have become. I was able to take a walk at the park the other day and made it 45 minutes before my pain started. Before I could not walk 10 minutes! I am not cured 100% however I have come farther with this procedure than anything else out there. I owe it all to MELT! Who knows after more time how much better my felt will become?
Has anyone else actually started doing the MELT method since your last post? I would love to know how it works before putting down money. I have sciatica and a host of other body issues! Thanks
