This long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The MELT Method introduces a unique, scientific-based proactive training program for improving overall balance, performance, and control while preventing pain and injury.
Are you an athlete facing constant injuries that hold you back from achieving peak performance? Are you someone who wants to stay fit, but are dealing with aches and pains that make it more difficult to work out? Do you want to exercise or train without being sidelined by stress fractures, strained ligaments, and painful joints?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need MELT Performance.
The conditioning you do to stay in shape and perfect and improve performance—running on a treadmill, doing squats or bicep curls, practicing our backhand, even doing downward dog—requires repetitive movements. Yet 80% of orthopedic injuries are the result of repetitive motion, not trauma or accidents. In MELT Performance, nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, and exercise physiologist Sue Hitzmann introduces a revolutionary program centered on neurological joint stability or Neurostrength, that will revolutionize your health and performance.
The foundation of MELT Performance is stability. To stay injury free, our joints must stable before we do repetitive motions. Acquiring stability allows the body to respond to the demands of motion. It’s the way we were designed to function—and allows us to move more efficiently, improve coordination, and save our joints. Knowing how to check in, restore, and reintegrate joint stability before it’s compromised gives an unparalleled advantage to anyone who trains hard to perform at their best.
Hitzmann’s techniques are proven to work—they’re already used by world renowned professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts. If you’re ready to improve your performance and prevent injury, MELT Performance is essential no matter what sport or activity you pursue.
MELT Performance includes black-and-white instructional images throughout.

"Eureka - after decades of searching, I have finally found it! Long story short, when I broke my tailbone at age 14 my quest for good health began. Chronic pain became a way of life for me and I was bound and determined to find my way back to normalcy. I made a career out of my quest - I’ve been teaching Pilates since 2002. I came up with all sorts of tips, tricks, hacks, and compensations. But regular pain was still part of my story until I found the MELT method. MELTing has transformed my life and MELT performance is the final piece of the puzzle. Having a movement practice is great, I’m so grateful for Pilates. Having a personal care practice is just as great, I’m so grateful for MELT. But having true strength at the very foundation of everything that I do? That is the true sense of whole-being wellness that I’ve been hoping to find and with MELT Performance, I have finally found it!"

- Sue Hitzmann has given us a gift with MELT Performance. Using creative imagery and vibrant explanations, Sue demystifies complex mind/body interactions. MELT Performance builds upon Sue’s first book called The MELT Method. In The MELT Method, we become acquainted with the 4 R’s Reconnect, Rebalance, Rehydrate, Release. In MELT Performance, Sue includes two more R’s -- Reintegrate and Repattern – which allow us to incorporate the benefits of MELT into all of our daily activities. This focus on everyday benefits will be very helpful for anyone who wants to find lasting relief from physical pain or limitations.
MELT Performance meets you where you are. Beginners will find inspiration, guidance, and clarity. Experienced instructors will be challenged to delve more deeply into advanced concepts like neuro-strength, neuro-plasticity, and synaptic pruning. If you follow the exercises described in this book, you will find that the bad habits and stress that have become ingrained in your tissue will dissolve away.
On a personal note, the MELT Method has been a revelation for me. It is not only a stress-reliever after a long day on my feet, but also a fantastic preparation before activity. Doing a quick MELT map before I exercise dramatically influences the results of the workout. MELT ensures that my body is well-organized and my joints are stable so that my body works more deeply and harmoniously. I use MELT balls on my feet before running or interval training. I roll on my back body before yoga. Both my clients and I more easily connect to our core muscles after we MELT. In short, MELT sets you up for success. For anyone who has seen the health benefits of MELT, or for anyone who wants an introduction to the technique, this book is a must read. Enjoy! - I would first like to congratulate Sue Hitzmann on her new book MELT Performance. I was fortunate to work with Sue directly in the infancy of MELT. I learned how to implement and coach not only myself but my clients on this self-treatment system.
In this new book about this amazing practice, the reader is made aware that, athletes (professional as well as recreational) are compensating machines and have no idea that they are. Readers are informed that the connective tissue in our body is far more than just packing material; it is the link to our stability. Explained to the reader in simple terms, fascia (connective tissue) IS the link to neurological stability.
In this newest publication, Sue’s nerdiness, gift of intuition and healing enables her to deliver updated guidance on how to self-treat and heal the body. In addition, her collaboration with Gil Hedley (an amazing PhD who has a gift for dissecting and explaining the wonders of the human body) enriches the content so that comprehension is clear and concise.
MELT Performance delivers an easy explanation of the “communication breakdown†at the early development stages of our lives; leading to compensatory habits and eventually joint disfunction. It speaks to the importance of the need and availability we have to RE-program our bodies to move in the way it was designed to move ~ now how we have programmed it to meet our lifestyle and desire to obtain a certain body image. We can heal our motor amnesia and regain our stability.
To sum it all up, as a huge Star Wars fan and lover of Obi-Wan…I am ready for a JEDI – MELT Mind Trick. I am anxious to share it with my clients bringing them back to pain free living for as long as possible.
Thank you, Sue, for being so fascinated with anatomy and always being full of questions. Your persistence has benefitted so many. - Eureka - after decades of searching, I have finally found it!

- I am a practitioner and teacher of alignment-based postural Yoga and, for the last 7 years, the MELT Method. My primary intention in learning MELT was to rid myself of the pain that had been building in my body due to years of advanced yoga postures, dance and the many falls taken from my horseback riding days. I had became increasingly competent in the physical postures of Yoga, and those who saw my practice had no idea that I was overriding pain signals my body offered me until pain rose to a level that made that impossible. Chiropractic care and physical therapy provided short-term relief, as the help I received was overridden by the compensatory patterns that were interwoven in my practices.
The MELT Method, and MELT Performance, has allowed me to return to wellness, despite lumbar surgery and two auto accidents. Sue Hitzmann offers a great gift to our world – a method to empower each of us to heal by directly addressing cellular dehydration (stuck stress) due to the repetitive movements and patterns that are part of our everyday life and its impact on our nervous system through her first book, while MELT Performance unmasks our compensations, and offers clearly explained tools and techniques for dynamic movement to occur without joint compression or misalignment. MELT has fundamentally helped me and my students get out and stay out of pain. The way in which I practice and teach yoga, ride my bicycle, sit in a chair, drive my car, have all been vastly enhanced through MELT.
