MELT & PILATES CLASSES

MELT stands for My Fascial Energetic Length Technique. The MELT method simulates the hands on techniques that a therapist uses to treat stress, pain and dysfunction. A self treatment technique that restores our connective system, the stability matrix of our body, MELT helps eliminate chronic pain, easing the negative effects of aging, and of activeliving, improvesperformance, enhancing recovery, energy levels, sleep and good posture. Specialised soft foam rollers and small balls are used to rehydrate the connective tissue and rebalance the nervous system. Our organs, bones, muscles and nervous systems rely on the integrity, hydration and gliding ability of our connective systems to stay healthy.

The film took six years to make and includes footage from both poles. Because they were talking to a fellow scientist, Dr Lamb says contributors spoke with “a relaxed confidence and candour that meant that not only did their science come across with rare clarity, but their personalities and engagement with their work did as well”.

What also impressed him was the feedback from the nomadic Sami people of the Arctic Circle, who have been noticing changes on the ground over the last half century.

“It struck me that people who live close to the environment are as good as long term temperature records at detecting climatic trends, and they are all saying the same thing,” he says.

Dr Lamb says the film does not set out to tell the audience “what we should do about climate change, but rather, what we know about it”.

The film’s co-director, David Sington of UK’s Dox Production, a veteran of documentary film making and friend of Prof Barrett, believes this is probably the most informative climate change doco ever made. Although the film was made in 2013, and updated in 2016, Dr Lamb says “the science hasn’t changed, there’s nothing out of date.” http://thiniceclimate.org
