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.

Simple and easy to use
I am extremely pleased with the Miracle Balls. They are easy to use, require no special clothing or location and they really do work for relieving pain and stiffness. I ride a motorcycle and take long trips, sometimes riding 7 or 8 hours at a time. I take the balls with me and use them in the evening to eliminate tight, sore muscles.

Get relief, even for lazy people like me.
I've been using the miracle balls for years and they are great. I have fibromyalgia and nerve damage and they definitely have helped relieve the pain as well as relax my muscles. I'm a little lazy and there is a book with the breathing method you are supposed to do but a lot of times when I am just sitting around watching tv or reading a book I'll put one of the balls in a place thats tight or painful and let the ball do its majic. This method has helped in so many ways- there's even a position to put the ball in that helps insomnia and believe me it works. I recommend this to anyone- healthy or sick. It's wonderful!

it's a miracle
I bought these about three weeks ago and the balls are really miracle. I have been had low back pain and had a surgery a year ago. the pain had been with me all the time. just two days after I lied on it couple times a day, the pain was improved. Now almost don't feel any pain any more. I recommended this to one of my friends who is having low back pain also. She just placed an order and I look forward to her result.

Besides lying on the ball, I also put it against my back when I sit.

Cannot thank more to the product!
