Book Reviews of The Miracle Ball Method: Relieve Your Pain, Reshape Your Body, Reduce Your Stress [2 Miracle Balls Included]

Book Review: Really a miracle ball.
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm afraid I'm too scattered & busy to have used this ball for all it's possibilities (I keep intending to try it on my shoulder and carpal tunnel issues), but I use it often for lower back pain and it is amazingly effective. I wonder sometimes of I hadn't had previous classes on breathing and relaxing it if would work as well. One needs to be able to relax through the pain for a bit before the ball can work it's magic. I have to concentrate my breathing with a focus on my hip joints while the ball is at the base of my spine, and that is not always easy when my back hurts. However, the ball has never failed to give me relief, and it only takes about 5-10 minutes. I should probably try using it regularly for more permanent results, but I only use it when I have pain. My back is not severely compromised (no slipped or herneated disc, as far as I know). I have had back trouble all my life and have had good & bad results with chiropractic. The miracle ball does a lot to bring my back "back to balance" and cost less than $20. After thousands over the years on chirpractic care, I call that a miracle.

Summary of The Miracle Ball Method: Relieve Your Pain, Reshape Your Body, Reduce Your Stress [2 Miracle Balls Included]

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 a revolutionary program of relief, from head to toe.
