Last Wednesday, I had another opportunity to talk to a
group of massage therapy students. It was about one of my favorite subjects,
MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique).
There are many professions, massage therapy being one of
them, where the professionals have to rely on the effortless functioning of
their bodies in order to pursue their careers. Sue Hitzman, the creator of the
MELT method, is a manual therapist herself, and she developed the MELT hand
treatment in response to her own problems from overworked hands.
Just looking at the effects of the MELT hand treatment
itself, the benefits are great, whether people sit at their computers all day
long or are in a profession where the use of hands is a main part of the job like
massage therapy and hair styling or recreational activity such as arts and
crafts. Taking just 10 minutes a few times a week can help maintain the health
of the hands as well as have beneficial impact on structures higher up the arm
lines like shoulders and necks.
