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 a revolutionary program of relief, from head to toe.

 Two balls and no book November 7, 2009
Darren Campbell (Idaho Falls, ID USA)
I get the impression from other reviews i have read that what you are buying is a book with two miracle balls thrown in for free.What I got was the two balls in the box. Nothing else.I really dont know what Iam supposed to do with these balls.
 Helps with my Fibromyalgia October 31, 2009

I have severe muscle pain with my fibromyalgia. I also have menieres and have had my neck fused from an automobile accident. I get much needed muscle/pain relief from these little balls on a much used basis. It only works IF YOU DO THE EXCERCISES AND DO IT AS OFTEN AS YOU NEED TO; EVEN IF THAT'S SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. Many people prefer to do something once or twice and if it doesn't work give up on it. I've been using this for almost a year now - my husband got them for me for Christmas 2008. I asked him to get them for me as I saw them at a local store.

I am reluctantly leaving a negative review of this product. I'd like to begin by stating that I actually love the concept of this product and send kudos to the creator/inventor, Elaine Petrone. I think that it is an awesome method of pain relief and also great to use for accupressure work. So what is my complaint? I have had to return the product because of the material from which it is made. The balls are very soft and flexible - which of course is good for the nature of the exercises - but the manufacturing material must be some sort of PVC or type of vinyl. I can only guess that it is an extremely toxic material - it is highly sticky to the touch and there is a strong banana fragrance to it. I am guessing the fragrance is added to hide the horrid noxious smell of the vinyl. In the past, have purchased vinyl-covered exercise equipment with a terrible odor before, so I am just guessing that is why the banana smell has been added. When I put the balls in my exercise room the entire room filled with the fragrance of bananas - not so bad except when you consider that the smell is some synthetic chemical added to a highly toxic vinyl! If you have allergies or are concerned about indoor air quality, I recommend you pass on this product. If you can find some substitute for the balls (I use soft tennis balls) then you might consider buying her book without the balls. Again, I am very sorry to have had to return this product. If you aren't sensitive to smells or don't care about vinyl or are a scientist and think I'm whacko - then by all means I can recommend her product!
 Miracle Balls October 20, 2009

I ordered these because My Chiropractor said it would help my back. You have to pump them up when you get them. They seem to help some, however, the problem is (at least with me) I can't find a good place to use them. I have schnauzers and they will not leave me alone.
A good product. These balls also I think come in a bigger size but these are perfect for me and you also get the book as well and for such a good price.
great for neck relaxation October 20, 2009

The Miracle Ball Method: Relieve Your Pain, Reshape Your Body, Reduce Your Stress [2 Miracle Balls Included]
I ordered these to see if they might relieve some of my chronic neck pain. I was pleasantly surprised that they do help! I followed some of the exercises in the book and after about 20 minutes of relaxing my neck on the ball as instructed it actually adjusted into alignment!!! It felt as relieved and relaxed as it does after a visit to my chiropractor. With the use of these balls I have cut down on my visits to the chiropractor.
