review 1: Hmmmm...well to be honest I did not read this start to finish. There was a lot of skimming, because it was scientific and self helpy and I just finished my first semester of school in 15 years and I was sort of over the whole reading to better oneself. That being said, I did skim it and she isn't a bad writer and her theories are interesting. I love anything where pain can be treated without medicine or surgery. I tried a lot of the exercises and I think they could be helpful. I would probably need guidance and all the correct tools for them to really work. I don't consider myself in chronic pain I was just hoping to find something to alleviate some of my back and joint aches. In truth, what I really need is sleep and to get back into yoga. Neither of which are hap... morepening. So suffer I must...but while I am suffering I'm going to enjoy lots of good trashy fiction. Wait is this a review or a rant? Who cares? I am on winter break, I can write what and how I want. Take that APA!
review 2: I found the presentation/writing style off-putting, initially. It seemed that the first several chapters were just a lot of words and paragraphs that didn't tell/teach me anything. Being a group fitness instructor and personal trainer for the past 20 years, I'm quite accustomed to reading and comprehending anatomy, physiology and medical jargon. While the theories and information made sense to me and were consistent with thingss I'd learned at the feet of a few bodyworkers I had the privilege to share employment with some years ago, many parts of this book read too much like an infomercial "I'm going to tell you how to get this for yourself! But first, a lot of backstory... and then I'll tell YOU how YOU can do this yourself!" and so on... I think this could be cleaned up a bit, and I hope those first few chapters aren't off-putting to anyone who could benefit from the MELT Method, but might feel tempted not to persevere past the introductory chapters. Also, initially, the terms used were rather awkward and, to me, not user-friendly, though I found myself accepting and adapting to them more easily when they were actually applied in conjunction with the hands-on techniques. I wish the techniques, exercises, photos and instructions had been presented earlier on in the book, but once you weed through the excess, you finally do get to the root and source of the book, and begin to make headway. It's definitely a good program, and much more helpful than the usual foam roller "how to" books. These activities were simple to perform, and also restful and restorative. Other foam roller exercises leave me feeling too fatigued to actually do after a busy week of teaching fitness classes. The MELT Method is definitely helpful in alleviating pain, tension and discomfort and I'm going to be purchasing a copy of my own so I can refer to it again and again. less
