MELT For Pregnancy and Postnatal Recovery

Sat, February 18, 10:00 – 11:30 am, or
Sat, March 24, 10:00 – 11:30 am
Pregnancy and the postnatal period involve major physical change on a daily basis. This puts an incredible amount of stress on your connective tissue and nervous system to keep your body in balance, joints aligned, organs supported, and baby thriving. Sometimes they need a little help!

MELTing throughout your pregnancy and after baby, will help you maintain a fluid, balanced body, quiet the nervous system, and heighten mind-body communication – not always an easy task during this period of drastic physical change. Not only can it keep you feeling good throughout your pregnancy, but MELT can also help your body bounce back faster after baby is born. Experience immediate changes and learn simple techniques to practice on your own to remain active, healthy, and more in control of how you are feeling throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

• Rehydrate and rejuvenate stretched, tight, and stressed connective tissue

• Reduce swelling and ease tired, achy, and tight legs and feet

• Decompress the neck and unwind the shoulders

• Stay connected to a nice supple, strong, fluid, core to help prevent or heal diastasis

• Create more space in the diaphragm and ribs for more efficient breathing

• Feel like yourself again!

MELT Self Treatments For A Healthy Active Life

MELT Maps are self-treatments that target a common body ache or dysfunction. In this two part series we will take you on a tour of your own body and help teach you how to bring your body back to a better state of balance. Regular MELTing can help prevent pain, heal injury, and erase the negative effects of aging and active living. Experience immediate results as you are guided through Hands-off Bodywork™ using Mini Maps, MELT Hand and Foot Treatment Balls, and specialized rollers. Learn how to self-treat on your own at home in just minutes a day to create lasting changes. Participants receive 2 full MELT Map printouts for each session attended.

This special intensive will improve your efficiency by directly enhancing body awareness, rehydrating connective tissue, and quieting the nervous system. Rather than stretching and strengthening muscles, MELTing accesses the system of the body responsible for maintaining efficiency and stability - the neurofascial system. In this workshop you will learn specialized techniques that rehydrate the connective tissue and rejuvenate joint space.
