Lower Back Pain Relief When Exercising!July 17, 2008 Zenful 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 expectedJuly 11, 2008 Angela Calcaterra(southern Illinois) 0 out of 17 found this review helpful
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 ConceptJune 30, 2008 Tari Richards(Chicagoland, IL) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Small product, big result.June 27, 2008 L. Hall(Lakeport, California USA) These two little balls can give big relief for tight back and hip muscles. I use them in the morning to get the kinks out, and they are great before my pilates class.
Somewhat pleasedJune 27, 2008 Ashley Ashley(Charlotte, NC United States) I was somewhat disappointed with the book that accompanies the Miracle Balls. It is hard to follow the directions to perform some the techniques. Overall, I believe this product serves its purpose, however it could be better.
