Product Description
Take two-they're small. And they perform miracles. Suffering a career-ending, potentially crippling injury to her back and right leg, a young dancer named Elaine Petrone tried everyone from orthopedists to yogis to turn her pain and prognosis around. Nothing worked-until she healed herself through a unique program of therapy and exercise based around the use of two small, squishy balls. From there she turned her passion into a mission that is helping the thousands of people who visit her classes conquer pain, stress, and injury.
Now, for relief for sufferers everywhere, comes The Miracle Ball Method, a healing kit containing two miracle balls and a fully illustrated book, all packaged together in an attention-getting clear plastic cylinder. The work itself is simple. Take a sore back: By resting your aching back on the grapefruit-sized balls and letting your body sink into them, you're unworking the muscles that hurt. Pain and tension drain out of the body. Petrone shows how proper breathing (which she demonstrates) works in conjunction with a range of unexercises that call for placing the balls under the back, head, knees, hip, elbow-wherever there's pain-and then resting, rolling, or rotating on them. She points out that relief can come in surprising ways: Lower back pain may be helped by placing the ball under your neck, or a bad knee might be helped by hip work. It's arevolutionary program of relief, from head to toe.

 Too painful for this Fibromyalgia sufferer September 2, 2008
The Fibro pressure points along my lower back and hips are particularly sensitive, so the idea of using a "squishy" ball that you "sink into" sounded very promising. To me the balls felt like a soft grapefruit -- not exactly what I consider squishy -- and were really too painful for me to use for any length of time.
Although I couldn't really give the balls a fair test I did give it two stars for the book's breathing and relaxation techniques, which I found very helpful.
 Good product. September 2, 2008
This is a good product and I like it. It does take some will power and effort to use, only because it ~feels~ like I'm not getting as much done as I would be with something more active. But it's amazing how much concentration and effort it takes to relax, when I really follow the suggestions in the accompanying booklet. And the benefits are worth the effort. I'm never disappointed by the results when I put in real time and energy (BREATHING and CONSCIOUSLY relaxing)...I just need to do it.
 Increases Flexibility and Relieves Tight Muscles August 31, 2008
My Asian Body Therapist recommended the Miracle Balls to me. I have been suffering from severe muscle spasms in my back recently. She had me use the balls while she was working on me and I received enough pain relief that I felt it warranted purchasing them and using them at home. I've also found that they are great for relieving the tightness and stress that I carry in my neck and down my back between my shoulders. I feel I've only begun to discover their many possibilities for use. I think they are great.
Some relief from back pain August 31, 2008
I have some knots and general tightness in my back and was looking for something that might be helpful. I considered some of the back alignment products but hesitated because of the price. Since it costs a fifth of the price of a single massage I decided to try this product. I've only used it a short time, but feel that it has made a small positive difference.
Great for relaxing and stretching! August 30, 2008
I like to use the ball everyday and it is a nice 30 minute stretch-and-relax product. If you get it, you need to use it regularly.
