In this episode of Root to Rise, Dr. Emily Splichal sits down with Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method and a global pioneer in fascia-focused self-care.

Together, they explore the powerful intersection between fascia, sensory input, and nervous system regulation — and why sustainable movement must begin beneath the surface.

This conversation goes beyond biomechanics. It's about resilience, adaptability, and reconnecting to the body as an intelligent system.

• Why fascia is more than connective tissue — it's a communication network
• How dehydration, stress, and repetitive movement patterns alter tissue quality
• The relationship between fascia and the autonomic nervous system
• Chronic pain as a sensory processing issue
• Why subtle input can create profound change
• Longevity as adaptability — not just strength
