Sue Hitzmann

Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT, is the creator of the MELT Method®, a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain. A nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascial Research Society, Sue is the author of the New York Times bestselling book The MELT Method®: A Breakthrough Self-Treatment System to Eliminate Chronic Pain, Erase the Signs of Aging, and Feel Fantastic in Just 10 Minutes a Day!, which has helped over 200,000 people lead a healthy, pain-free life.

Sue’s journey to help others began in the world of fitness. In 1999, she starred in the Crunch video Boot Camp Training, which has sold more than half a million copies.

Sue's interest in manual therapy began with her quest to find answers to her own debilitating pain. After receiving her Masters in Exercise Science from New York University, Sue went on to attain certifications in manual therapies.

In 2001, Sue was inspired to create "homework" for her manual therapy clients, which led to the development of the MELT Method – the first-ever form of Hands-off Bodywork™. Now with the bestselling book The MELT Method and the products Sue personally designed – including the MELT Soft Body Roller and MELT Hand & Foot Treatment kit – anyone, anywhere, can take steps to restore whole-body efficiency and lead a healthier, more active life.

Sue has personally trained more than 1,300 professionals worldwide and is a leading presenter for national organizations such as IDEA, ECA, and PMA, and a CEU provider for ACE, AFAA, NASM, PMA, and NCBTMB.

Sue has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Nightline, Good Morning America, The Rachael Ray Show, and Live! with Regis and Kelly, and the internationally translated MELT Method book has been featured in magazines such as SELF, More, and Prevention.
