While poking around Amazon, I saw that there is a new book on using them to relieve chronic pain:
"The MELT Method" by Sue Hitzmann
http://www.amazon.com/The-MELT-Metho...dp/0062065351/
The reviews are pretty good. I have ordered it just today. I still get rib pain all the time. My most frequent complaint now.
Anyway, if you try it, please post your experiences in this thread. |
Hi,
I had heard about the MELT method just a few days ago. I was wondering how much an investment the roller etc are? My surgery is coming up June 18 with Dr. Donahue. I asked him when I would be starting PT and he said, (paraphrasing) I'm not really a fan of PT, I think he means after surgery as I know he has had people try it before. I don't expect I'd be using it right away of course, however I have friends who use those really hard rollers and her book and roller sounded a lot more pleasing.
