What if chronic pain, stiffness, and fatigue are not just muscle problems? Sue Hitzmann, founder of the MELT Method and New York Times bestselling author of The MELT Method, joins Dr. Yi Song on Regeneration Effect to explain why fascia may be the missing link in pain, mobility, inflammation, nervous system regulation, and healthy aging. Sue shares how her own experience with plantar fasciitis and body-wide pain led her from fitness and neuromuscular therapy into fascia research. The conversation covers joint pain, morning stiffness, vagus nerve signaling, lymphatic flow, breathwork, hydration, sports recovery, scar tissue, lipedema, lymphedema, and why gentle self-care may matter before pain becomes chronic. This is an educational conversation for people exploring root-cause approaches to pain, mobility, inflammation, and long-term health.
