Highly muscled and motivated, she often presented at fitness conventions, modeled for the cover of Muscle and Fitness and had a highly successful dvd. She was the picture of health until chronic pain caused her to seek help. Finding no solution from traditional medicine, she was able to find relief at the hands of a craniosacral therapist, which then prompted her to use her own innate healing skills to become a bodyworker herself.
Since childhood, Sue had been able to feel subtle vibrations in others. However, this ability was considered strange and Sue was encouraged not to mention it to others when she was a child. She learned to use this skill in her new career and rapidly found new success as a manual therapist..
Sue began rigorously researching fascial science, which is a fairly new science even today and developed her signature method, MELT. Sue developed the MELT method as a way of helping people reap the benefits at home that previously had only been attainable through bodywork at the hands of a manual therapist.. She explains that many people suffer from chronic pain, which she defines to include achiness, stiffness and swelling that is often unexplainable and mysterious.
Because the root of the chronic pain is often not apparent on X-rays, MRIs or blood tests, these people have been told that their pain is either in their head or just a normal part of ageing.
Sue explains that the source of this chronic pain is dehydration of the fascia, inflammation and joint misalignment, all of which tend to occur together.
