Susan Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT
Sue Hitzmann is a nationally recognized somatic-movement educator and manual therapist. Her decades of experience in the fitness industry and extensive study of anatomical science and alternative therapies have culminated in the creation of the M.E.L.T. Method™ (MELT), a revolutionary approach to health, fitness, and longevity.
Sue got her start in the fitness industry in 1988 as a group exercise instructor. She has taught in some of the top clubs in New York City, including Reebok Sports Club/NY, Equinox, Crunch, and the Manhattan JCC. Her 1999 video, Boot Camp Training, has sold more than half a million copies worldwide and remains one of the best-selling fitness videos today.
After receiving a Masters of Science in Applied Physiology and Anatomy, Sue designed her own path of study, completing thousands of hours of research, as well as certifications in manual therapies such as neuromuscular, craniosacral, and lymph drainage.
For over a decade, Sue has been bringing her education, experience, and insight back to the health and fitness arena. She is a leading figure in the fitness industry, serving as a presenter for national organizations such as IDEA, ECA, ECITS, and ISMETA, and an accredited continuing education provider for ACE, AFAA, and NASM.
Drawing on cutting-edge science and proven manual therapy practices, Sue created the M.E.L.T. Method™. This groundbreaking self-treatment program gives people of any age access to their optimal movement potential, improving body structure and posture while reducing joint pain and discomfort.
MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique) is the first program designed to boost performance in any activity by focusing on the body’s system of connective tissue. MELT supports the health, fitness, and quality of life of any person, at any age, for an entire lifetime.
Sue is currently certifying a wide array of professionals—from movement instructors and personal trainers to manual and physical therapists—in the M.E.L.T. Method™, so they can teach the technique and integrate this powerful approach into their practices. Packed MELT classes are now on the schedule at Reebok Sports Club/NY and the Manhattan JCC.

She is a leading authority on applying the new science of the human body and maintaining an active, pain-free lifestyle, and is a sought-after speaker and writer who has been featured in national magazines, television programs, and websites.
