Members discussed whether the MELT Method products were worth trying, with the overwhelming consensus being that the products are vastly overpriced and the techniques are nothing new, as physical therapists and fitness professionals have used foam rollers and balls for years. Several members offered practical alternatives, including purchasing basic foam rollers and balls from sporting goods stores or Amazon for as little as three to nine dollars, with racquetballs and tennis balls working just as well as specialty products. A recurring theme was skepticism about companies that target people with chronic conditions by repackaging common tools at inflated prices, alongside genuine interest in foam rolling as a helpful technique for pain relief when done affordably.

In my opinion, sites like that takes advantage of persons with chronic diseases just to make a dollar with the pretense that they care for the person when in fact they could care less about the suffering of others . Scientists don't sell their research on nerve diseases. They put it in the journals of medicine for everyone to see and read it with their goal of finding cures or vaccinations to erraticate. @A MyFibroTeam Member

I looked at the website. In my opinion, the products are vastly overpriced. Rollers and balls have been used for years by physical therapists and exercise kinesiologists...her 'method' is nothing new. You can get the rollers at any sporting goods store, in the fitness section, or online. For balls, I use racketballs and tennis balls. You might want to try the book or dvd, or do the research yourself online for free.

Products very overpriced. I got a pack of two balls from Amazon recently. They were only $9.

Yes, foam rolling works. I couldn't find out what melting even was from her website because she wants you to buy her book but I googled it and it's just foam rolling so you can buy a foam roller at academy or Amazon.com and it comes with a dvd or book that shows you how to do it. It hurts but it helps!

Hi,

I haven't heard of that, but it sounds interesting! I looked at the website and do wish it wasn't quite so expensive, but if it really helps it might be worth it. I do like @A MyFibroTeam Member idea to look into finding the information and products cheaper. I already own a half roller. I would be very interested in hearing what you decide to do! Thanks for sharing!
