Sue Hitzmann is an internationally recognized fascia educator, manual therapist, and exercise physiologist whose work has helped shape the global conversation around pain, longevity, and self‑care. She is the CEO of Longevity Fitness, Inc. and the founder of the MELT Method®, a fascia‑focused self‑care system that began as clinical homework for her private clients and has since evolved into a worldwide movement empowering people to restore their bodies and regulate their nervous systems.
A founding member of the Fascia Research Society, Sue is widely regarded as a pioneer in fascia education. Her New York Times bestselling books The MELT Method and MELT Performance introduced the public to accessible, science-rooted strategies for improving fascial integrity, autonomic balance, and long‑term mobility. Her work bridges cutting‑edge research with real-world practice, helping people understand how fascia shapes how we move, feel, recover, and age.
For more than two decades, Sue has worked with professional athletes, Olympic gold medalists, major league teams, and Hollywood performers, as well as thousands of everyday individuals seeking to live pain‑free and resilient lives. Her streaming platform, MELT On Demand, and her global community of over 3,500 trained instructors extend her mission across more than 30 countries. Sue is also the host of Anatomical Gangster, a podcast that brings together innovators in fascia, movement and health sciences, quantum biology, and human performance and longevity.
Through high‑energy keynotes, immersive workshops, and transformative conversations, she distills complex science into practical tools that help people reclaim ownership of their bodies and their health span. Her mission is simple and profound: awaken body wisdom, simplify self‑care, and redefine what it means to heal, move, and thrive in the modern world.
