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.
I have a MELT roller and just purchased the book but since I am having surgery soon will probably have to wait on making full use of it. I was wondering if any of you who see Ando can describe the way he told you to use it for your ribs? I have a lot of rib pain and soreness and my 5th rib is elevated. Thanks!
