In-depth Somatic Studies

Fridays, 9:30-10:45 am

Sept 11 / 18 / 25 - MELT Method: Fascia & NeuroStrength

MELT Method hydrates your fascia through compression and length techniques, restoring its elasticity and support so you move with more ease and less stiffness. From there, the work goes deeper into the neurofascial system with NeuroStrength, which helps restore the timing and control of the deep stabilizing muscles in your hips, core, and shoulders. The result: joints under less compression, better balance over a lifetime, and sharper, more efficient yoga and strength training. Join Lori for three Fridays to learn this innovative approach.

The MELT Method is a self-treatment technique using soft balls and a foam roller.  MELT moves are designed to rehydrate connective tissue and repattern the nervous system. It is a proactive approach to maintaining a healthy, pain-free body that can enhance athletic performance, ease chronic pain, and improve overall well-being.  And it feels really good!

The creator of the MELT method, Sue Hitzmann, designed a number of props that allow individuals to become their own bodyworkers. A soft foam roller and soft rubber ball are the basic tools. A fascia hydrator is also available.
