Book Reviews of The Portable Miracle Ball Method
Book Review: Travelers, pack this in your bag!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Don't leave home without it," we've all heard that one. Well, that describes how I feel about this ball/book combo.
I bought the original Miracle Ball set, and I toted it with me to deal with back, hip, and neck issues. The day I learned the Portable Miracle Ball was out there, I bought one from Amazon. It's taken up permanent residence in my carry-on. Over a year later, it shows no wear and performs beautifully.
For the record, I am a 'carry-on diva' who never checks bags on any carrier to anywhere, on any kind of transport, for any length of time. This ball, in its mesh bag, is something I make room for gladly. It actually fits quite well inside many Lexan mugs; you can stow them together to save space. If you haul your bag a little too far - it will help. If you have to go up a gazillion steps because the lift is out, the ball will help. If you've just sat immobile for too long through a bout of turbulence (with the attendant back issues, or even crampy, knotted legs), this ball will help! The book is small enough to squirrel away in nearly any bag.
Make room for the Portable Miracle Ball in your bag. You will never regret it. If you're used to seeing a chiropractor when you arrive, or arrive home, you may be pleasantly surprised; if nothing else, if the ball helps you, that's just more money to spend here on Amazon. :)
Summary of The Portable Miracle Ball Method
Introducing The Portable Miracle Ball, a take-it-anywhere-and-everywhere kit ideal for business travelers and commuters or anyone who spends long hours away from home. Rather than two balls, these exercises require only one, which, at 3 inches in diameter, packs easily and is discreet to use in public. The fully illustrated book is filled with simple exercises that work miracles the minute you settle into your hotel room or board a plane.Stuck in a long line at the bank? Here are techniques to stretch the muscles and reduce tension right on the spot (and no, you won't look silly). Feet worn out after a day at the museum? The author's soothing exercises targeting the insteps and legs will have you up and moving again in no time. And for anyone who experiences discomfort when sitting for long periods, the book features exercises to be performed at your desk, on a plane, or even in a restaurant. A chapter on "Emergency Measures" provides quick relief for back spasms, waking up with extreme stiffness, and other acute problems. The author discusses proper breathing technique, ball placement, and the importance of listening to one's own body when performing the movements.
