MELT and Fibromyalgia

By Karin Singleton

Yesterday, I presented MELT to a fibromyalgia support group. After a brief description of MELT, I let the method do the talking and did the MELT foot treatment with the group. We used to soft balls only, and MELT did not let me down. The participants reported that it made them feel better, not only in their feet but also up towards their lower backs.
We then proceeded to a brief demo on the foam roller where I had the participants assess their bodies first. We used the re-balanecing technique of diaphragmetic breathing, and yet again, the participants reported back to me that their bodies felt better as a result.
Obviously, the nature of fibromyalgia mandates a very gentle approach but I was happy to see that MELT is a modality which provides a viable option.

About Me View Profile

Karin Singleton

I have been in the fitness industry since 1994, and it is my passion to help people feel and live better. Over the years my training focus has shifted more and more towards balance between mind and body. In 2009, I have added MELT to the list of programs I offer. MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique) is a method through which people can learn to self-treat their connective tissue. I also teach Pilates which I like to teach in conjunction with MELT as the two modalities are very complimentary to one another. Of course, I am also very experienced in the traditional strength, cardio and core training forms of exercise including a multitude of balls, Bosus, balance boards and much more.
