Who's it for:

Personal trainers, group exercise instructors, Pilates and yoga instructors, massage therapists, hands-on bodyworkers, chiropractors, physical therapists ­ – anyone who is fascinated by the workings of the human body and who wants to help themselves and others stay active and pain-free for a lifetime.

What it is:

The New Science of the Human Body, the foundation of MELT professional training, is a 14-hour course that examines the latest scientific understanding of the human body as it relates to alignment, stress, chronic pain, and the negative effects associated with aging.

Participants will gain an understanding of the neurofascial system – the interconnectedness of the nervous system and the connective tissue system, which creates a whole-body communication network that serves to support, protect, and stabilize us in motion and at rest.  In MELT, we call this system the Autopilot.

Discover how the Autopilot works – and why it often doesn't work well, particularly as we age. Learn what you can do to keep it functioning efficiently. Then find out how the MELT Hand and Foot Treatment can tap into this system to improve whole-body connection, communication, and alignment.

Learn how to:

• Improve the body's systems of stabilization, protection, and internal communication
• Enhance Body Sense, awareness, and the mind-body connection
• Rebalance the body around the center of gravity
• Address disconnection, instability, and imbalance in the core system
• Rehydrate the connective tissue system for improved extensibility, communication, body sense, and Autopilot efficiency
• Release and reacquire space in the joints, creating a longer, more upright body and improved performance
• Create a more expansive, elastic diaphragmatic breath to improve whole body function and communication
• Cue your clients and students to recognize immediate improvement
