Globally Recognized Educator, Therapist, Podcast Host and Author

Sue Hitzmann is a globally recognized educator in neuro-fascial science, a manual therapist, an exercise physiologist, and the host of the Anatomical Gagster podcast. As a founding member of the Fascia Research Society, she has made significant contributions to the field. Sue is best known for creating the MELT Method, an innovative self-care practice for pain management and wellness, highlighted in her New York Times best-selling books, The MELT Method (2013) and MELT Performance (2019).

Often described as a pioneer in the study of fascia, Sue has focused on this vital aspect of our connective tissue system, which supports muscles, bones, organs, cells, and nerves. Fascia plays a crucial role in movement, flexibility, stability, mental well-being, and the immune system—areas often overlooked in traditional health and fitness. Sue's work dispels misinformation, myths, and trends in wellness, reshaping beliefs about aging and longevity. She educates people on the importance of fascia in maintaining a pain-free and healthy body.

Sue's expertise has been featured on national TV programs, including Nightline, Regis and Kelly, The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, Home & Family, and The Rachael Ray Show. Her MELT practice has benefited major league sports stars, Olympic gold medalists, and Hollywood A-listers. Over the past two decades, through her classes, streaming platform MELT On Demand, and a global MELT Instructor Community of over 3,500 practitioners, Sue has helped countless individuals overcome chronic pain and enhance their well-being.
