The MELT Level 1 Training certification is the first step in the MELT University training path where you’ll learn how to teach the foundational techniques and self-care treatments from the New York Times best-selling book, The MELT Method. Get everything you need to start teaching group classes and one-on-one sessions the next day!
In this 6-day live training, you’ll learn how to relieve chronic aches and pains, prevent injuries, and create effortless stability and movement using the Hand and Foot Treatment balls, Soft Roller, and Soft Half Roller.
Learn how to help your clients minimize joint pain and repetitive stress injuries, recover after an injury or surgery, or manage side effects from a variety of disorders and diseases, as well as how to modify techniques from the MELT Method book to help clients with special needs. Adding this simple self-care practice to any type of sports training, physical therapy, or healing practice further helps clients prepare and restore their body resilience at any age.
This training is appropriate for anyone who wants to become a MELT Instructor or add MELT to their fitness or wellness offerings. No matter what your background, you’ll be supported by an interactive 8-module online pre-training course designed to help you embody the method and get the most out of your live training.
