Joyce sends email on Sunday mornings with info about the upcoming week’s classes and occasional announcements about schedule changes or other options to learn MELT.
MELT also improves flexibility, as it restores the “elastic” qualities of the connective tissue (also known as fascia) that surrounds and invests all muscle tissue, and provides support for the joints.
The MELT Method was created by Sue Hitzmann, drawing on cutting-edge, neurofascial science and proven manual therapy practices. This groundbreaking self-treatment program utilizes Hands-off Bodywork techniques to support the health, fitness, and quality of life of any person, at any age or activity level.
Through a series of precise techniques—using specialized equipment like soft body rollers* and small balls—this groundbreaking program quickly rehydrates connective tissue, making it more supportive, allowing the body to release long-held tension caused by daily living that contributes to chronic pain symptoms.
MELT also helps decrease accumulated stress in the nervous system improving overall wellness. It’s like getting all the benefits of a great massage, but you can treat yourself in your own home and it takes only minutes a day.
*The MELT soft body roller is very different from a firm roller. In MELT, the objective is to reduce and eliminate pain, yet the practice of MELT is not painful when practiced with the right equipment.
Love MELT and Joyce's wonderful uplifting teaching style!
Joyce presents MELT in a way that is easily understood and she is just a delightful, caring person and teacher. I absolutely recommend her as an instructor!!
*MELT Balls and Roller required for class participation unless you contact Joyce two days in advance for instructions on alternatives for a trial class.*

I really like the regular MELT practices. I have a lot of new awareness about my posture. I have struggled with my posture and being uncomfortable in my body... but I never knew what I should be doing or how to make it better … MELT has helped me to be able to feel where I want to be. I'm noticing that I get closer to ideal alignment ... I am able to sit more comfortably for daily breathing practices.
