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.

 it's a miracle July 22, 2008
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!
Miracle Ball Pain Relief July 18, 2008
As a senior with arthritis, I have pain in neck, back and hips. It is amazing the relief I get after only a few minutes relaxing on the balls. I have given them as gifts to friends with similar issues.
Lower Back Pain Relief When Exercising! July 17, 2008
Use these small balls to give you a little boost under your lower back or bottom while doing Pilates, yoga or just stretching. It will TOTALLY take the pressure off your lower back and allow you to reach and stretch further. Of course you can also use the accompanying booklet and follow the recommended exercises but I've also incorporated the ball into my other exercise regiment. No more using your hands to lift and raise your hips- the little ball does the trick! It's especially good for any exercise that requires laying on the floor and having your legs straight up in the air (place ball under your lower back) or forward seated stretches (place ball under your sacrum bone).
 not what I expected July 11, 2008

I thought I was ordering pilates exercise balls, but these are mainly used for back pain relief. They are virtually useless to me.
 An Interesting Concept June 30, 2008
This product was recommended by a person who was very pleased with it.
Decided to give it a try. Found it not available at stores locations suggested so tried Amazon.com. It was available and also 5.00 cheaper.
Had never heard of this concept before. For the price it was worth the money but as far as really helping with sciatic for someone over 63 I think the instruction book was way too detailed and the exercises seemed to be not doable on a regular basis. The balls do seem to make the bottom of feet feel nice when rollilng the foot over the ball from a sitting position. But as far all the other performance exercises directed were a little more than a sr. or someone less able would be inclined to do for a sustained period of time. Perhaps someone who is agile and driven to exercising would find the whole concept very doable and probably quite helpful. If I had read the book before hand I would not have purchased this item for my use. That is not to say they are not a good quality product for the money.
