As the connective tissue, aka fascia, which until
recently was treated like the ugly duckling is morphing into a beautiful swan,
it has been attracting more and more interest from practitioners of different
modalities.
MELT has been at the forefront of this movement, and it
still forms a foundation stone of my training. But there are others now, and as
a trainer, it is important to evaluate its effectiveness and even integrate it
into practice where it is of benefit to the clients and students.
Two of those modalities stand out in my mind. The first
is called ‘Yoga Tune Up’ and is by Jill Miller who wrote the book ‘The Roll
Model’ which is very extensive and gives a lot of options. Maybe too many for
my taste. It requires special balls, and some of the techniques are very
intense. But is very well worth checking out.
The other is called ‘Relief through Rolling’ and is by
Kevin Lucas. He is just using a roller (hear, hear) in different, yet similar
patterns. It is a modality which is very compatible with MELT, and which I
intend to integrate into classes and workshops and my personal training.
