The MELT Rebalance Sequence helps to restore the body to efficiency and balance and helps to calm the nervous system.

This is a foundational sequence in MELT we will learn in the intro class and is so key!

If lying on the MELT Soft Foam Roller is uncomfortable for this move, the MELT Half Soft Roller gives you a great alternative!

I buy in bulk or you can shop here: https://meltmethod.com/?rfsn=6612305.ba03c4f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6612305.ba03c4f

 I promise this roller will change your body. It's the only roller I've recommended to clients for years, andI've gotten great feedback and seen it create lasting changes.

I placed a bulk order and have a few unclaimed rollers. Who wants to try it?

The MELT Soft Foam Roller is the only roller developed for the techniques of the MELT Method. MELT gently rehydrates connective tissue, rebalances the nervous system, promotes healing, reduces inflammation, decompresses the neck and low back, improves core stability, mobilizes joints, stimulates organ function, increases flexibility, and much more.

The latex-free roller is 36 inches long and 5 inches across.

You have to experience this firsthand to know how much better your body can feel.

You may not even realize how stuck stress in your connective tissue is restricting your movement and causing other seemingly unrelated symptoms.

It can also lead to those "I just bent over and my back went out" or "My plantar fasciitis keeps coming back"

Intro classes teach the foundational moves used in almost every MELT class.

UPCOMING CLASSES:
Intro: June 21
3 week workshop: learn to assess and treat areas all over the body for imbalance and stuck stress June 28, July 5, July 12

I am doing this challenge starting May 15th! ✌️✌️✌️

Sorry for the late notice, I just found out about it and need this! I thought you might need it too! They may close the group soon so hop on if you want to join!

Who wants to join me?

I am part of an incredible group that has all the details led by an RN (she’s an expert on all things lymphatic system!)

There will be videos and posts with exactly what to do. There’s a specific list of a few essential oils, massage oils, and skin brush that makes this the most effective.

I’ll send you the list and an easy link to order and the link for the fb group.

I’ve heard great things from friends who have done this in the past!

Why should you join me in this???

There are several tell tale signs that lymphatic fluid is not moving effectively and that toxins are building up in your body:

• Bloating
• Swelling in your fingers/rings fitting more tightly
• Brain fog
• Digestive issues
• Parasites
• Depression
• Sinus infections
• Skin problems/dry and or itchy skin
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Chronic fatigue
• Feeling sore or stiff when you wake up in the morning
• Unexplained injuries
• Excess weight
• Cold hands and feet
• Constipation
• Worsened allergies
• Food sensitivities
• Increased colds and flu

See why it is important?! Maybe you should join me! Message me for the links to join!

I'm seeing an uptick in runners (and walkers) and all kinds of shin issues. In less than 3 minutes you can prepare your shins for a run or offer relief with hydration and prevent issues.

If you have active shin splints or pain, I recommend the foot treatment and I have modifications for the shin technique.

PS - this is great for equestrians, too, who have to keep "heels down" for extended periods.
