MELT & Menopause

– less anxiety, more connection

Menopause can feel like an internal renovation. Sleep gets disrupted, the body feels heavy, joints and muscles start complaining – and things that once felt easy suddenly feel... unfamiliar. It's not because you've done anything wrong. It's because hormones have changed the rules of the game.

Many women describe menopause as losing their footing. Not just physically, but within themselves. This is where the MELT Method comes in. Not as a miracle cure – but as an honest, tangible way back to connection, balance, and vitality.

What is MELT?

The MELT Method is a gentle and effective approach to self-care, where we work with the connective tissue and the body's nervous system through specific techniques using soft balls and rollers. The goal is to hydrate the tissue, release accumulated tension, and stimulate the body's rest and repair system.

It feels a bit like an internal cleansing for the nervous system – and many experience that after just one session, their body feels lighter, more integrated, and less “on guard.”

Why choose MELT during menopause?

Because menopause is not just a hormonal shift – it's a shift in connective tissue as well. When estrogen levels drop, the tissue becomes drier and less elastic, which can feel like:

• sore joints and muscles

• stiffness – especially in the morning

• restlessness in the body or sleep problems

• tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw

• a feeling of being “shut off” or out of touch with your body

MELT helps alleviate these symptoms by nourishing and moving the connective tissue and calming an overactive nervous system – without the need for intense physical exertion.

It's not about working harder – but smarter

During menopause, it's important to listen to your body and work with it – not against it. Many women feel tired, overstimulated, and strangely disconnected. MELT provides the body an opportunity to let go. Not by stretching it further or strengthening it harder, but by creating space, hydration, and calm in the tissue and nervous system.

With MELT you can:

• reduce joint pain and muscle tension

• improve sleep

• support hormone balance through the parasympathetic nervous system

• enhance body awareness and breathing

• feel more grounded and energized in your daily life

MELT at Frog Pilates

At Frog, I offer both weekly MELT classes and special events. You are guided step by step, and you don't need to be flexible, strong, or familiar with MELT beforehand. You just need to be open to experiencing a little more peace and a little less tension.

A gentle revolution

MELT is not therapy or traditional exercise. It's a practice that invites you to experience your body with fresh eyes – without judgment, without performance. It's a quiet revolution, where you begin to trust that your body knows what it needs when given space.
